The family of a woman who died after falling into a hot water valve manhole in Beijing on April 1 received 900,000 yuan (US$142,830) in compensation, Legal Evening News reported today.
Yang Erjing, a young mother, was walking on the sidewalk of Beilishi Road when the manhole cover collapsed under her feet. She suffered 99 percent burns and died days later despite rescue efforts.
The accident was caused by a heating water pipe that goes into the Wuhua Building. Leakage eroded the soil under the pavement and caused the cover to collapse.
The owner of the building, its management company and the heating supplier, were held responsible for the woman's death, according to Xicheng District government.
Three employees of the property management company and the heating company have been detained.
