A 23-year-old Chinese student who was found dead at her off-campus residence on Feb. 4 had accused her boyfriend of abuse in a social media post, but the post was later deleted.
In the post, the victim said, “This guy abused me… He always acts like he’s innocent. He’s trying to send me to jail and everything he says is 99 percent lies. I thought it was true love, but I was blind.”
The Chinese Consulate General in Los Angeles confirmed her death on Wednesday.
Zhuang Menghan, also known as Emily King, was a fourth-year undergraduate student at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts). A report from the local coroner revealed that she died from multiple injuries.
