A Chinese medical student died of
a heart attack while looking at a 'sexy magazine' in a sperm bank - on
his fourth visit to the centre in just over a week.
According to the Changjiang Times, Zheng Gang, 23, was found dead in a
private booth of a fertility clinic at Wuhan University after nurses
noticed he was spending longer than usual producing his sample.Two hours
after he first entered the cubicle, medics broke in to find him lying
unconscious on the floor.
Despite frantic efforts to resuscitate him where he lay, doctors pronounced him dead at the scene.
Zheng had donated his sperm on four previous occasions before his death and had even solicited others to donate their semen in the interests of society.
The father asked the university to hold an autopsy but this request was
rejected. The son was cremated the day after he died. His family had
demanded almost half £1 million in compensation, saying that they had
pressurised him into agreeing to take part and had not handled the
situation properly when he was found unconscious.A lower court had only
awarded the family £19,000 plus £8,000 in funeral costs,
Zheng's wife, Wu, who is also a student at the school, was compensated
with a 20,000-yuan (£2,000) reduction in her tuition bill at the top university as well as help finding a job.
