Routine visit almost ends in wife's suicide

A woman in Fuzhou, Fujian province, threatened to kill herself on Monday by jumping off a hospital building after she saw a pretty woman visiting her sick husband.

A witness said she saw the 25-year-old woman suddenly run out of a ward on the 10th story of the hospital building. Crying and shouting "let me die", the woman climbed over the railing outside a window. However, she clutched the railing and did not jump.
