The 12th Jump Happened, Another Foxconn Employee Death

According to Xinhua news report, another Foxconn employee has committed suicide last night. This latest death comes just hours after Foxconn held a huge conference meeting with the press to clarify the suicide tragedy. Take a note on what Foxconn CEO said yesterday, “I cannot guarantee that similar deaths will not happen again, but we are doing our utmost to look after and care more for our staff“. So 12 suicide attempts, 10 deaths, we have enough for this. The news on this whole insane incident has over-boiled. Are we getting some sort of suicide count-down for the new iPhone announcement next month ? Or curse !?
