CHINA Young Chinese woman hasn’t answered her phone or responded to messages in a long time. Her friends became worried about her, so they broke into her apartment. What they found shocked them. Their friend was lying dead on the floor with a large gash on her neck. A piece of sheet was still hanging from the door where she had hanged herself. They immediately called the police, who took these photos of the scene.
