Dossier concerning Zhang Chenshi (張陳氏), a 27-year-old woman from Shanghai, whose death in May 1945 was investigated as suicide by hanging. The police non-natural death report identifies her as female, aged 27, and records her residence in the Songgongyuan Road (宋公園路) area. Her husband, Zhang Genyuan (張根元), reported the death to the police.

The police investigation provides unusually explicit evidence concerning Zhang Chenshi's history before the fatal incident. Her husband stated that they had been married for approximately four years and described her as suffering from a condition contemporaneously termed 神經病. According to his statement, she had displayed suicidal behavior on more than ten previous occasions, from which she had been rescued. On the morning of 6 May 1945, Zhang was subsequently discovered dead after hanging herself at the family residence.

Statements from persons living nearby similarly indicate that the deceased had frequently expressed or demonstrated an intention to die, although they could not explain the immediate reason for the final act. The police examination of the scene identified hanging as the mechanism of death and arranged for the body to be transferred to the Changde Road corpse examination facility (常德路驗屍所) for formal judicial examination.

The subsequent medico-legal documentation again identifies the deceased as 張陳氏, aged 27, and records findings associated with hanging, including examination of the neck and throat. The final forensic conclusion attributes death to hanging (自縊身死 / 自縊致死).
