CHINA The corpse of a young Chinese woman was found at her home under her bed. Her mouth was foaming at the mouth and the surrounding area was soiled with shit and vomit. An autopsy confirmed that the woman died from ingesting poison.
Interestingly, women are more likely to turn to poisons and drugs to kill themselves. The reason is supposedly because they want to look good after death. This woman didn’t get her wish.
