THE family of a 19-year-old woman are blaming a private vocational school in Qingdao City for the death of their daughter, who fell from the fourth floor of a restaurant when she and other students were taken out for late night beers last month by six male teachers.
Last year, the Qingdao Qiushi Vocational School was rocked by the deaths of another student and a teacher at the campus.
The woman who died last month, Liu Xiao'ao, and five other female students were invited out on October 27, the school's 20th anniversary, according to a man surnamed Kong, the woman's uncle.
Police told Liu's parents that the woman "accidentally'' fell from a window in the restaurant bathroom at 10:34pm, her family said. Police said they have ruled out murder but have not released a cause for the death.
Liu's family has doubts about the investigation. "I've sent my daughter to the school to study, not let the teachers take her out late at night to have dinner and drink beers," Liu's father told China Business Herald.
