Dossier concerning Li Xingxing (李杏興), an 18-year-old woman from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, whose body was found in a well in Shanghai in November 1948. The police treated the case as a suicide by jumping into a well and prepared a report on the non-natural death, together with statements concerning the discovery of the body and the circumstances surrounding her death. The file also contains judicial inquest records and a detailed corpse examination. The examination identifies the deceased as Li Xingxing, female, aged 18, native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and records signs consistent with immersion. The final medico-legal conclusion states that she died after falling into water while alive (生前落水身死).
