“The Taiwanese employer of a young Chinese man who killed himself after being interrogated over a missing iPhone prototype has agreed to pay compensation to his family, a company official said Tuesday,” Peter Enav reports for The Associated Press.
“Sun Danyong, 25, jumped from his high-rise apartment in southern China last week after officials of Foxconn Technology Group questioned him about the whereabouts of the iPhone model that was in his possession,” Enav reports. “Sun was responsible for sending the device to U.S.-based Apple Inc., which contracts with Foxconn, the world’s biggest contract manufacturer of electronics.”
Enav reports, “A Foxconn official in Taipei said Tuesday the company would pay Sun’s parents a lump sum of 360,000 yuan ($52,600), plus 30,000 yuan ($4,385) every year as long as either of them remains alive.”
