Probe into acrobat's death finalized

Authorities in Anhui province have finalized their investigation and will soon call related people to account for the accidental death of an acrobat during a performance in Suzhou on Saturday night, according to a statement from the local government on Tuesday.

A female acrobat, surnamed Sun, fell onto the stage during a flying trapeze performance while performing with her husband and eventually died from her injuries, Suzhou city's Yongqiao district government information office said on Sunday.

Anhui Yaxi Performing and Media Company, which hired the couple, illegally conducted the performance without reporting it beforehand to the local authorities, which took place on a farm in the district's Haogou township, according to the office's Tuesday statement.
