A Chinese student has died after being found slumped over an electric fence while apparently trying to sneak out to meet her boyfriend.
The body of Jiao Chin was hanging over the fence at the campus of the Xishuangbanna Dai Prefecture in south-western China’s Yunnan Province.
The grim discovery was made by fellow students at the university in the early hours of the morning, who found the 22-year-old only wearing a T-shirt and shorts.
The fence had been erected around the university accommodation after a string of intruders tried to break in.
Now her classmates believe that she might have been going to meet someone when she died.
Roommate Qing Wan, 23, said: ‘I had no idea she had left the room until I looked out of the window and saw her body down below with people and police milling around it.
“I don’t know where she was going as she didn’t say anything to me, but I do know she was seeing someone so maybe she had gone to meet him?”
