1 March 28th, 2008 According to the news released by the Metropolitan Police on official website and Twitter around February 28th 12:00 local time, the police found a female body in a house in Meffer, central London. The police thought it was Yan and informed her family. There is nothing suspicious about the cause of death at present.
According to Vicky Baker's explanation, "suspicious death" includes suicide, homicide, medical malpractice and so on, so these possibilities are ruled out for the time being.
At about 12:40, the Chinese Embassy in the UK also issued a notice about the death of Yan, a student studying in China, confirming that the Chinese Embassy in the UK had received the notice from the British police. On the morning of 28th, British police found Yan, a foreign student in China, dead, and relevant investigation is underway. The Chinese Embassy in Britain has informed Yan's family about this matter and will provide active assistance to his family. Please respect the privacy of your family at their request.
At the same time, it can be seen from the news published on the official website of Scotland Yard 1 1:56 that at 3 am on the 28th, police officers searching for Yan came to an address in Westminster, central London. After entering the building, they found the body.
A staff member named Laura provided the following information to the reporter on the phone:
1. At present, the relevant information of this case has been sorted out by the police and handed over to the coroner, waiting for the coroner to officially confirm the identity of the deceased and make a judgment on the cause of death.
2. As the case is regarded as "non-suspicious" at present, the police have no more details to explain, only that it belongs to the judgment made by the police according to the specific situation on the spot during the handling of the case.
For other news, please wait for further notice from Scotland Yard.
The notice published on the official website of Scotland Yard at 19:49 local time on 27th was also withdrawn at around 1 1:50 in the early morning of 28th, which was earlier than the previous notice.
At the same time, the notice that has been withdrawn also mentioned that Yan has long known that poor back health sometimes affects her actions.
According to earlier news, on 25th 12: 30, Wang Xuelian received the first anonymous message of suspected kidnapping for help from 4am, and then Xue Lianjun forwarded it through the official WeChat account.
On the 26th, I learned about the tracing request of Yan Sihong's family. At 4: 30 pm, Xue Lianjun contacted his parents to verify the first message for help. After receiving a positive reply and confirming that the original help information of the embassy has been replied by the embassy, the Federation of Students helped forward two tracing information.
According to the information of Yan Sihong's father released by the Student Union, on Saturday, 24th, she failed to contact her parents by video as usual, and no one answered the phone afterwards.
Subsequently, the information was forwarded and verified by all parties, and the information of the classmates and friends of the student named Yan was obtained, confirming that the school and the police had started the investigation, and the students did not need to report the case to the police further. At the same time, I received a friend's query about the account information in the first message.
Later, I checked with Yan's family to confirm that the first message was not sent by Yan, and then Xue Lianjun began to investigate the source of the information. At present, it is initially confirmed that the help information comes from a female classmate of IC, and IC Xuelian has been entrusted to screen the information.
On the 27th and 26th, local time, Xuelian received two missing messages that happened continuously within 24 hours. One was confirmed to be KCL female doctor Yan Sihong, and the other was suspected to be an undergraduate majoring in IC materials.
The embassy and parents of the students confirmed to us that they had contacted the client of KCL doctoral students (Yan's family) and the consular protection mechanism had been started.
