A trainee doctor has died while producing a sample at a sperm bank. Zheng Gang, who suffered a heart attack, was found unresponsive in a booth at the building in China’s Wuhan University.
Worried workers had accessed his private booth when they realised he had spent two hours inside. They discovered the 23-year-old unconscious, and despite their attempts to revive him, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
It was his fourth visit in just over a week and he had reportedly been using sexy magazines to help him. The incident was revealed after Mr Gang’s family took the sperm bank to court claiming they were responsible for his death in 2011.
After several court battles and appeals, the court dismissed the action saying Zheng was matured enough to make his own decisions. The family had been awarded £27,000 by a lower court but were seeking £1 million in compensation.
