According to Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, a 38-year-old man A was found dead at home in a village in Sichuan, China. The police, who were dispatched after receiving the report, considered the body suspicious when they saw the condition of the body.
Police investigated the residents and collected and analyzed all CCTVs near the village.
The result revealed a surprising fact.
A fell into the water while swimming with two other residents in a nearby reservoir. Two people were rescued, but they were already dead.
They were embarrassed and took the body home on a motorcycle without calling the police or medical staff.
CCTV footage showed three people travelling on motorcycles, with the deceased sandwiched between the two, and a man sitting behind him grabbed his neck and forced him to stand.
Arriving at A's house, the two left without informing their family of the body on the bed.
For as many as three days, the family believed he was simply asleep, and eventually confirmed his death belatedly.
A's sister said "In the meantime, the two met their families in the village several times, but they didn't say anything"The monitoring video of the reservoir has already been covered, so the details of the incident could not be confirmed" he appealed.
However, the police did not hold the two criminally responsible, judging that they were not charged with the crime.
One of the two said he provided 80,000 yuan (about 16 million won) in the name of funeral expenses due to the village's mediation.
He was wrong to secretly move the body home and not inform it"If the bereaved family demands additional compensation, we will judge after looking at the results of the lawsuit."
As the incident became known, controversy continued online.
Some netizens questioned the fact that they were not criminally responsible, saying "If they had made an immediate request for help, they could have saved it," while others questioned "Isn't it the culprit who hid his death?", "It's hard to believe that the family didn't notice the death for three days" responded.
