Abstract

Dossier concerning Zhou Jianrong (周劍榮), a 39-year-old man from Haimen (海門), who died in Shanghai in May 1949 after jumping from a building. The police investigated the death as a suicide. The file contains a report on the non-natural death, statements concerning the circumstances preceding the incident, hospital documentation, correspondence concerning the judicial examination, a prosecutorial inquest, and a detailed examination of the corpse. A medical certificate of death from Lester Chinese Hospital (上海仁濟醫院) identifies Zhou Jianrong and records death on 19 May 1949 from severe head injuries associated with the fall. The subsequent corpse examination identifies the deceased as 周劍榮, male, aged 39, native of Haimen, and the final medico-legal conclusion attributes death to injuries sustained in a fall while alive.

Comment

Predominantly handwritten Chinese documents on printed police and judicial forms, together with a bilingual Chinese-English death certificate from Lester Chinese Hospital. The archival heading explicitly characterizes the incident as suicide by jumping from a building. The medical and forensic records document serious traumatic injuries resulting from the fall. Some details concerning the precise location of the jump and the circumstances or motive preceding the suicide are difficult to decipher confidently and are therefore not included in the catalogue record.
