Hou Yang committed suicide by jumping off a building on the 43rd floor of Wanda Apartment in the early morning of the 5th. Unfortunately, Miao happened to bump into Zhou when she jumped off the building. Yang died on the spot and Zhou died after being rescued. We can almost always see the news of people committing suicide, but the probability of jumping off a building and hitting passers-by is still relatively low.
I don't know what made Yang choose to jump off a building to end himself. However, although Yang jumped unintentionally, an innocent passer-by Zhou paid the price for his behavior. Yang's subconscious may know that his actions will cause harm or death to others, but the reality is that Yang's subjective consciousness ignores this possibility, thus causing this situation.
According to the lawyer's analysis, Yang committed two crimes. One is the crime of intentional homicide and the other is the crime of manslaughter. But the nature of these two crimes is different. Yang Xian killed, this is a criminal case; Jumping off a building to kill is a civil case. Yang has died on the spot, but someone has to pay for Yang's behavior. According to the fifth paragraph of Article 16 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), if a criminal suspect or defendant dies, criminal responsibility shall not be investigated. If the investigation has been completed, the case shall be dismissed, or no prosecution shall be instituted, or the trial shall be terminated or acquitted. Therefore, although Yang committed the crime of intentional homicide and negligent death, he was not investigated for criminal responsibility because of his own death, which is in line with the provisions of the fifth paragraph of Article 16 of the Criminal Procedure Law. But will it all end there? Of course not! According to Article 33 of the Inheritance Law, when an heir inherits an estate, he shall pay off the debts that the decedent should bear according to law within the actual value of the estate. Yang's successor shall be liable for compensation within the scope of his inheritance. However, if Yang's heirs give up their inheritance rights, they can also bear corresponding legal responsibilities.
Knowing that Yang was hacked to death for personal disputes, perhaps in order to escape the punishment of the law, Yang chose the road of jumping off a building, which indirectly led to Zhou's tragedy. This also reminds the majority of netizens and friends to pay attention to the surrounding situation when walking, and try not to bow their heads and play with their mobile phones.
