AN eighth child surnamed Cai has died an abnormal death this year in Tiantai County of east China's Zhejiang Province.
Police said the eight deaths were all accidents, occurring in three non-related cases, yesterday's www.zjol.com reported.
Police have ruled out murder in the accidents after careful investigation, Wang Xiejiao, political commissar of Tiantai Police, told the news Website.
The last victim was a 6-year-old girl, Cai Shaohan, who was found hanged by a telephone wire in a telephone booth on March 2 in front of the Tiantai Experimental Middle School, beside her parents' food store, Tiantai government told www.zjol.com.
