Woman found dead in Taiwan temple carried notes warning against 'casual communication with spirits'
A woman from Hong Kong was found dead in a temple in Taiwan. In her bag, two notes warning against communicating “with people in the spirit world” were found.
The woman, a 20-year-old student surnamed Zhong, was found dead in a women’s bathroom at around 2 p.m. local time at the Longshan Temple in the Wanhua District in Taipei on Sept. 29.
According to police, a janitor could not open the door to the women’s toilet in the basement of the temple. As there was no response from the occupant, security personnel were called for assistance.
The student was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. She had reportedly been dead for some time.
