Family to sue railway for death

GUANGZHOU: The family of a migrant worker who died after being tied down by train crew for 10 hours plans to sue railway authorities for between 400,000 ($ 59,000) and 500,000 yuan.

Cao Dahe, a migrant worker from Guizhou province, died on a train from Guangzhou to Zunyi on Sept 25, after he was tied down for nearly 10 hours following allegations he had gone insane.

Cao's family received 120,000 yuan, including 20,000 yuan in train insurance, from the train company on Sept 30, but his elder brother said the sum was insufficient.
