Kansas woman starves to death in empty container sent to Taiwan
AUTOPSY results have shown that a Witchita, Kansas woman found dead inside an empty shipping container in central Taiwan had likely died from starvation, reports Taiwan News.
On November 16, the body of a 41-year-old woman was found inside a shipping container at wharf No 323 in Taichung Port.
Police found that the container was largely empty, except for a few of the woman's belongings.
In the month since the news broke about the discovery, the woman's body remains in storage at a funeral home in Taichung as her family members have yet come to claim it.
The Taichung District Prosecutor's Office conducted an autopsy on November 22, and the prosecutor on December 21 pointed out that no food residue was found in the woman's stomach or intestines, indicating long-term starvation.
There were signs that the woman had been pacing around the container, indicating that she was alive while inside for some time.
