A SENIOR Chinese civil aviation official who committed suicide last week had been suffering from insomnia and probably depression, a source close to the aviation industry revealed yesterday.
The official, Liu Yajun, chief of Central and Southern Regional Administration of Civil Aviation Administration of China, threw himself in front of a train last Thursday afternoon, according to sources with Guangzhou-based China Southern Airlines and Baiyun Airport.
According to a note he left and accounts from family members and colleagues, Liu was suffering from long-term insomnia and lack of rest.
He was also most probably suffering from depression, the source said.
Liu sometimes wept alone at home after coming to work in Guangzhou where work pressure was heavy, the source said.
Books on curing insomnia and psychological problems were found in Liu's office. The family said he often searched online for such information.
Liu, who was around 50 years old, took office as chief of the CSRA in February 2009.
There was no evidence he'd been involved in corruption, the source said.
