CHINA The woman, a suicide victim, was transported to a medical institute for a forensic autopsy to determine the exact cause of death. Forensic experts had previously conducted a superficial examination of her body and documented the process with photographs, which is standard procedure.
The legal system in many countries, including China, requires a complete autopsy even in cases that appear to be clear-cut suicides. This is done to ensure that homicide or any other involvement of a third party can always be ruled out.
If you’re thinking about suicide, please stop and recognize that your pain is not permanent, but this step would be. It may feel like there’s no other way, but there is hope, even if it’s hard to see right now. Your feelings are temporary, and with help, they can pass.
Talking about what you're going through might feel difficult, but it’s the first step toward healing. Don’t turn away from the people who want to support you. Life can offer more than what you're feeling right now, and the pain doesn't have to last forever. You deserve help, and it’s available.
If you need immediate help, please contact a helpline.
