China’s netizens are speculating on how Lei Yang, a young Beijing man, mysteriously died during a police raid on a brothel masquerading as a nail salon. According to the police, Lei attempted to flee the scene and fought against officers who attempted to apprehend him, “losing consciousness” after they “attempted to subdue him.” The official report alleged that Lei had died from a sudden heart attack, but the online commentariat voiced suspicions that police had used excessive force and beat the young man to death. Beijing’s municipal procuratorate is now investigating the case, supervising a third-party autopsy to pinpoint the exact cause of Lei’s death.
