Was hard sell behind health tonic death?

A SALESPERSON, as well as a large-quantity buyer of Nu Skin juice, refused modern medicine and only took her purchased juice after falling ill in late February, reportedly under the guidance of Nu Skin "tutors". She died from a lung infection in Beijing on March 2. Nu Skin announced an internal probe on Tuesday. China Daily reporter Zhang Zhouxiang comment:

It should be noted that Nu Skin did not launch the internal probe until 17 days after the woman's death. It is probable that the pressure of public opinion is the reason for its move, as the hashtag #sick woman dies after she took Nu Skin juice instead of medicine# had already been read 360 million times on micro blogs by Monday night.

Now the incident might be subject to an investigation by the regulatory departments.
