Dossier concerning Li Weifang (李維芳), a young woman who attempted suicide in Shanghai in February 1949 by ingesting Lysol (來沙). She was taken for emergency treatment to the First Hospital of the Chinese Red Cross (中國紅十字會第一醫院), where her condition was recorded as critical. The Shanghai Municipal Government Health Bureau subsequently issued a medical certificate of death recording poisoning following ingestion of Lysol as the cause of death. The dossier contains medical documentation, police investigation reports and statements concerning the circumstances of the poisoning, correspondence requesting judicial examination, a prosecutorial inquest, and a detailed examination of the corpse. The final medico-legal conclusion states that the deceased died from poison ingested while alive (生前服毒身死).
