Deputy mayor Wang Meibin of Baotou city, Inner Mongolia fell to his death on Dec. 12, a few days after local officials were placed under investigation amid a corruption probe into the region’s coal mining industry, according to Chinese media reports.
Wang reportedly “fell from his home” in the Ejin Horo Banner of Ordos city in Inner Mongolia and local authorities have ruled out homicide, according to state-run media Xinhua.
