A court has heard how a trainee doctor died of a heart attack while producing a sample at a sperm bank.
Zheng Gang, was discovered unresponsive in a booth at the building at China’s Wuhan University after workers worried when he didn’t come out of his private booth after two hours.
When they decided to enter the room, workers discovered the 23-year-old unconscious and despite their attempts to revive him he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The court heard how it was Gang’s fourth visit in just over a week and he had reportedly been using pornography to stimulate himself.
The incident was revealed after Mr Gang’s family took the sperm bank to court claiming they were responsible for his death in January 2011, but had their case dismissed as the court ruled that Zheng was mature enough to make his own decisions.
The family had been awarded £27,000 by a lower court but were seeking £1 million in compensation.
