BEIJING - A father wants compensation for the death of his son who died in June in a Beijing mental hospital five days after he was sent there by police.
The father is basing his case on an autopsy, which showed his 20-year-old son died from an overdose of a medicine used for treating severe mental illness.
The autopsy of Hao Lei showed that the mental hospital, a branch of the Huayi Hospital in Changping district, treated him as a severe patient before diagnosing what kind of mental illness Hao had.
