On the day of the accident, the clinic recommended the injection of Propofol, a sedative often used in medical contexts but considered highly risky when administered outside the hospital supervision. After the injection, the clinic doctor would have started, assigning only a male assistant to monitor Cai Yuxin. In a few minutes, he began to convulsive, the eyes returned back and soon slipped into a coma. Only after the initial resuscitation attempts have not been called the clinic.
Upon arrival in a large hospital, the CAI was already in critical conditions, not showing signs of life. Despite more than two weeks of intensive care, his family eventually decided to withdraw the vital support, letting her pass peacefully.
