CHINA The pregnant mistress of a former China Telecom boss committed suicide after the man was arrested for corruption and money laundering. Authorities discovered a secret room in his office behind his desk filled with cash and gifts of unknown origin. His mistress lost her sponsor and all financial support. She didn’t want to go to work, so she decided to end her life. She locked herself in the bathroom where she lit briquettes until the room filled with carbon monoxide.
