Pregnant Woman Dies After Her Head Stuck in Railing (Photos)
China’s Sha’anxi Province is still reeling from shock after a pregnant woman
died when her head got stuck in a railing. Videos showed the woman knelt down
on the road, with her head stuck in a guard rail. From CCTV footage, passersby
tried to rescue her by pulling apart the rails, but failed. Police and
ambulance crews soon rushed to the scene and freed her body from the railing.
An official from the Mizhi County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine,
told a reporter from Beijing News that the woman lost signs of life upon
arrival at the hospital. However, doctors still administered emergency
treatment, including artificial respiration and cardiotonic injections in the
hope of jolting her back to life.
Sadly, she and her unborn child were declared dead. Officials said they
couldn’t yet decide why the woman fainted suddenly, which led to her getting
stuck and suffocating, but she could have suffered from a heatstroke or
hypertension.
An official from Mizhi Public Security Bureau said an autopsy will be
conducted before a final conclusion is made. He added that while the case is
still under investigation, they have excluded the possibility of homicide.
"She seemed to feel dizzy, and intended to lean against the railing to take a
rest, but then fainted and her head slipped into rails," he said.
