Former vice mayor of Shenzhen dead after falling from building

Chen Ying Chun, former vice mayor of Shenzhen, was found dead yesterday after falling from a building.
Shenzhen police announced his death via a short post on its office’s Weibo account. The same post indicated that the reasons behind the accident remain unknown.
A report was filed about a fall at 11:14 a.m. Shenzhen police subsequently went to the Futian district of Shenzhen, where the former vice mayor of the city was found dead.
Rumors surrounding the death and innuendo regarding Chen’s life immediately spread on Weibo.
“One dead, everyone else is now safe,” posted Po Xiao Xia Guang_80. A user identified as Ju Jing Wei De Pang Ci wrote, “Another corrupted governor committed suicide.”
Among the number of people applauding the death of the former mayor, there are some who believe that his death is related to the landslides that took place in Shenzhen in December of last year. More than 70 people were killed during the disaster. There are some allegations that he had been negligent in allowing the buildup of discarded waste that resulted in the landslide, and by implication that some of the deaths may have been averted.
A third user, Yi Ma Ping Chuan, wrote, “Another one who jumped, thus another corruption case.” In turn, user masters-zhuang posted. “[The] news is short, but what happened is serious.”
Before being appointed as the vice mayor, Chen was the secretary of the former mayor of Shenzhen, Li You Wei, who was also the former vice director of the Subcommittee of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Compatriots and Overseas Chinese, of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.
Chen Ying Chun had been vice mayor since 2003, occupying his position until May of 2015, when he left for early retirement.  During his time in office, he made an official visit with other governors of Shenzhen to Macau in 2007. Staff reporter
