Abstract

Dossier concerning Li Shimin (李世民), a male Shanghai resident who attempted suicide in 1948 by jumping from the second floor of his residence. A certificate from Chung San Memorial Hospital records that he had attempted suicide by jumping from a second floor and had subsequently received treatment in the hospital’s orthopedic department. Li Shimin died in Zhongshan Hospital on 10 September 1948, after which the hospital notified his family or related persons and the authorities. The Shanghai Municipal Police subsequently requested a judicial examination. The dossier contains police correspondence, hospital documentation, interrogation records concerning the circumstances of the suicide attempt, a prosecutorial inquest, and a detailed examination of the corpse. The medico-legal examination concluded that Li Shimin died from injuries sustained in a fall (生前跌傷身死).

Comment

Predominantly handwritten Chinese documents on printed police and judicial forms, together with an English-language certificate from Chung San Memorial Hospital. The sources indicate that the suicide attempt by jumping occurred earlier in 1948 and that Li Shimin subsequently died in hospital on 10 September. Some personal names, addresses, and details in the handwritten witness statements remain difficult to decipher with certainty.
