'Slapping therapist' jailed in UK for manslaughter

Xiao Hongchi, 61, of Cloudbreak, California, was convicted in July by a jury in Winchester of manslaughter by gross negligence after he failed to get medical help for Ms Danielle Carr-Gomm, 71.

He was charged in November 2023, following her death during an October 2016 session to help the victim with her diabetes.

The jury found Xiao "unlawfully killed" the pensioner while delivering a paida lajin workshop, which involves patients being slapped or slapping themselves repeatedly.
