Dossier concerning Zhao Wangshi (趙王氏), a 59-year-old woman from Zhejiang who died in Shanghai in May 1949 after ingesting poison. The file contains a medical certificate of death issued under the Shanghai Municipal Government Health Bureau, a diagnostic certificate from Shanghai Public Hospital (上海公濟醫院), a police report on the non-natural death, witness and family statements concerning the circumstances preceding the poisoning, correspondence requesting judicial examination, a prosecutorial inquest, and a detailed examination of the corpse. The corpse examination identifies the deceased as 趙王氏, female, aged 59, and records her native place as Zhejiang. The final medico-legal conclusion states that she died from poison ingested while alive (生前服毒身死).
