Dossier concerning Xu Fukang (徐福康), an 18-year-old man from Shaoxing (紹興), whose death in Shanghai in March 1945 was investigated as suicide by cutting his throat. The police non-natural death report identifies Xu by name, age, sex, and native place and records his transfer for medical treatment following the suicidal act. The investigation and witness testimony indicate that Xu had suffered for approximately three years from a condition described as 半身不遂 (paralysis/hemiplegia) and had failed to recover despite medical treatment. His father, Xu Henian (徐鶴年), and other persons were questioned concerning his illness, circumstances, and the events preceding the suicide attempt.

Xu cut his throat on the evening of 22 March 1945 and was transported for emergency treatment. Medical certificates from the Shanghai Sanitarium Clinic, 171 Range Road, identify him as an 18-year-old Chinese male and explicitly describe the case as 割喉自殺 (suicide by cutting the throat); one certificate records that he died at approximately 8:45 a.m. on 23 March. The case subsequently passed to the prosecutorial authorities for formal medico-legal examination. The forensic documentation records injuries to the neck consistent with the reported mechanism, and the final conclusion states 委係刀傷身死—that death resulted from a knife/blade wound.
