China’s Sha’anxi Province is still reeling from shock after a
pregnant woman died after her head got stuck in 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.
An eyewitness who worked at a department store opposite of
where the rails were located said the woman, who was around 30 years
old, was pregnant with twins.
"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.
