THE family of a government official who died in his office is questioning the police investigation which ruled he committed suicide, arguing he had 11 knife wounds.
Xie Yexin, an official with the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Gong'an County in central China's Hubei Province, was found dead in his office on Saturday.
According to the autopsy he died of blood loss, and local police ruled he committed suicide, Beijing News reported yesterday.
Police said only that Xie had suffered multiple knife wounds, with the fatal injury being a stab wound to the chest.
A family member at the autopsy process said 11 wounds were found - four in his neck, four in his chest and abdomen, two to the left wrist and one to the right wrist.
The family member said: "If he committed suicide, how come there were a long wound in his neck and deep cuts on his wrists?"
Xie was found in his chair, close to his desk, but there were few blood stains on the desk, the family member added.
Police linked Xie's "suicide" to his failure to be promoted and elected to the standing committee of the local disciplinary watchdog.
But the family member said: "The loss of promotion was only a small thing."
