On April 5th, a Chinese girl named Tan Jing (谭静) was found dead in Shenzhen, China. I first read this story on Asian Fanatics. What caught my attention first was that she used to be an ATV artiste. The tabloid has reported that she was a prostitute who got into a 4P session (which is like a four-some) and was raped and murdered by three Korean guys. However, the Chinese police deemed her death as a suicide. Netizens and media are still questioning the death and making it a mystery.
After surfing the web around, I have found many stories regarding this incident. Although the tabloid reported that she was a prostitute, there are reports that said she was not a prostitute. There were stories about how she was often partying and meeting up with men. Then, there were stories that she broke up with an American or Thai boyfriend, who cheated her money. There was also bits that said she was unstable because her dad was murdered around the same time a decade ago. What to believe? What to believe?
Well, I think what cause this whole controversy was the photo of her hanging in midair half-naked with a rope tied around on the thought that her body was originally found that way. You can see the picture here, but please be warned that it might be a little too morbid for some. However the picture of the rope tied around her while she was hanging in mid-air was what the police/firemen used to take her body down. Her body was originally on top of a strip between the two buildings. Got to say it was a morbid shot of the body when it was just hanging there though. You could see the original finding of the body in the below Youtube video.
So it is just blown out of proportion or was it a wrongful death? Well it could be both. Perhaps she was murdered and pushed out the window. Perhaps she was, like the police said, committing suicide or just fell to her death b/c she was too drunk to know. Whichever it is, it can be seen how crazy the stories get with just so little information.
What is sad is that there seems to some tensions between Koreans and Chinese due to this incident. Hope that she has been given a proper funeral or will be given one soon and that the tabloids/media doesn't exaggerate too much on this.
