Whistleblower Found Dead After Exposing Organ Harvesting Operation at Chinese Hospital

A chilling scandal in Communist China is now drawing global outrage, as the death of a young whistleblower intern has been officially ruled a suicide.

The suicide ruling comes despite glaring evidence that points to a cover-up at the highest levels of China’s medical and political establishment.

Luo Shuaiyu, a 26-year-old medical intern just weeks away from finishing his degree, was found dead outside his school dorm in May 2024. ...

Before his death, Luo had gathered a damning trove of documents and recordings implicating senior physicians at the elite Second Xiangya Hospital in illegal surgeries, forced organ harvesting, and the trafficking of children’s organs.

He had reportedly refused to comply with demands to obtain child donors for the hospital and was preparing to expose the corruption.

A powerful surgeon named Liu Xiangfeng is at the center of the controversy.

Liu was later sentenced to 17 years in prison for performing unnecessary surgeries on patients who never needed them.

Victims said Liu removed organs under false pretenses, tampered with evidence, and even faked gallstones to justify cutting into healthy people. ...

Chinese authorities then pressured Luo’s grieving family to sign a statement agreeing with the suicide finding before returning their son’s belongings.

When they retrieved his laptop and phone, most of the recent data had been wiped.

Shortly after Luo’s death, 853,000 yuan ($1.2 million) was wired to the family, along with a “request” to stay quiet.

But the family refused to play along.

Luo’s father took to Weibo and Douyin (China’s version of TikTok), defiantly sharing screenshots of files, payment records, and text messages.

Public support exploded.
