Abstract

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).

Comment

Predominantly handwritten Chinese documents on printed police, medical, and judicial forms, together with bilingual Chinese-English documentation issued by the Shanghai Municipal Government Health Bureau. The deceased is consistently identified as 趙王氏, female, aged 59. The file establishes poisoning as the cause of death, and the surrounding police investigation treats the case as suicide. Several handwritten passages concerning the precise substance ingested, domestic circumstances, and motive are faint or difficult to decipher, so these details should not be specified more narrowly without further verification.
