In October 2024, an elderly couple made a real-name report on video, claiming that their son, Luo Shuaiyu, died by falling from a building on May 8 of the same year after reporting that Hunan Xiangya Second Hospital was involved in illegal acquisition and sale of human organs. Recently, this incident has stirred up controversy again, with the Hunan authorities issuing a notice stating that Luo Shuaiyu died by suicide, a conclusion widely questioned. Han Xu, a law professor at Sichuan University, called for an independent investigation into the matter.
On June 17, Han Xu, a law professor and doctoral supervisor at Sichuan University Law School, published an article suggesting the inclusion of lawyers, journalists, and medical experts in the investigation of the “Luo Shuaiyu incident.”
The article pointed out that the official report on the “Luo Shuaiyu falling to death incident” has been questioned, with many netizens saying they “don’t believe it,” and family members refuse to accept the “suicide” conclusion, similar to the “Hu Xinyu incident” in Jiangxi years ago, where the official conclusion of “Hu Xinyu committed suicide by hanging” was also widely doubted.
The article recommended: first, timely release of investigation details and increased transparency, such as the flow of funds received by Luo Shuaiyu, the whereabouts of over 400,000 yuan in transfers, the existence of the 16-kilogram reporting materials, deletion of relevant information from computers and phones, and the existence of hospitals having family members sign confidentiality agreements, all requiring honest and objective responses. Second, involving private forces in the investigation is essential, as the basic requirement of “natural justice” is that “no one should act as a judge in their own case.”
The article stated that Central South University, as the supervising unit of Xiangya Second Hospital, shares common interests with the hospital and should not be part of the joint investigation department. If the joint investigation can involve lawyers hired by Luo Shuaiyu’s family, journalists from news media, and relevant medical experts from other medical institutions, the credibility and trustworthiness of the “incident report” will be greatly enhanced. If the investigation process is “closed” and monopolized by public power, the investigation conclusion is bound to be questioned.
In addition, the article also suggested establishing similar mechanisms to foreign coroner’s courts and channels for complaints to self-file public prosecutions.
This article is currently being reposted by several legal self-media platforms. As of the Epoch Times’ publication, it remains largely intact and uncensored.
Regarding the mysterious death of Luo Shuaiyu, an intern doctor at Xiangya Second Hospital of Central South University, the Hunan provincial government released a 4,500-word report on June 13, denying the family’s claim that Luo Shuaiyu was silenced for reporting the hospital’s alleged illegal organ trafficking. In response, Luo Shuaiyu’s father, Luo Fuxiang, and other relatives refuted this report during a live stream on June 14, stating their determination to keep seeking the truth.
On June 20, the Weibo account “Luo Shuaiyu’s Dad” issued a public statement titled “Regarding the Request for a Reinvestigation of the ‘Luo Shuaiyu Falling Incident,'” once again questioning the notice issued by the Hunan authorities and urging a reopening of the investigation. On the same day, the Weibo account posted, “Under pressure of hush money and ‘confidentiality agreements,’ I did not dare to speak out, but after discovering secrets in the computer and mobile phone that I cannot keep, I am compelled to seek the truth. Everyone must be clear about the contents of those recorded data.”
Currently, the Weibo platform has prohibited the reposting of posts by the account “Luo Shuaiyu’s Dad” and has blocked comments.
According to Luo Shuaiyu’s father’s previous disclosure, officials from Xiangya Second Hospital had approached them, offering 15 million yuan to keep quiet, an offer they rejected.
Former Central Discipline Inspection Commission writer Wang Youqun wrote in the Epoch Times, stating that the widely questioned official investigation conclusion of the Communist Party of China is because people with common sense and conscience, through previous reports, the facts revealed by Luo’s parents, and frequent media coverage of university students, middle school students, elementary school students “disappearing” and “having organs harvested,” believe that the official conclusion is not credible.
Wang Youqun believes that offering 15 million yuan to silence Luo’s parents is likely an attempt to cover up the heinous crime of Xiangya Hospital’s involvement in large-scale organ harvesting, which is morally abhorrent.
