A doctor allegedly turned a blind eye to the body of a 66-year-old patient who hanged herself at the entrance of her ward in Shenyang Fukang Mental Health Care Center early yesterday.
Surveillance cameras show that the doctor punched a fingerprint time clock, installed 2 meters from the woman's ward, twice between 1:55am and 2:25am.
He looked at the woman, Sue Xiuyun's body and walked away without doing anything.
Police in Shenyang, the capital of north China's Liaoning Province, have obtained the video and detained that doctor as part of an investigation, Liaoshen Evening News reported.
The hanging took place just two days after Su was admitted to Fukang. Her daughter said: "Fukang promised to check the patient wards about every 30 minutes. If the doctor found her in time then she would not have died."
Her relatives suspected that she had committed suicide. Su's daughter accompanied her until dinner time on Tuesday and said: "She has a history of mental diseases of over 30 years and never tried to commit suicide in the past."
One of Su's relatives said that the center had tried to pay them 50,000 yuan (US$ 7,840) to compensate for Su's death. "We don't ask for money. This doctor is responsible for it," Su's son said.
The center didn't comment on the issue.
