Preschool boy hangs to death in classroom

SHANGHAI: A kindergarten teacher has been detained after a 3-year-old boy hung to death in her classroom in Ningbo, Zhejiang province.

The boy, Gao Chenxi, reportedly suffocated yesterday after his clothing got caught on the grating of a classroom window, causing him to hang in the air.

The child's teacher, Liu Xiaoling, had allegedly beaten him on the head with a plastic stick before he ran away from her toward the window, police said.
