- Hospital suspends sex affair pair after husband of cheating nurse stumbles across incriminating phone messages
A wave of pity has hit mainland social media after a husband in China killed himself on discovering that his nurse wife was having an affair with a doctor she worked with.
The sad plight of the 26-year-old man, surnamed Wang, was revealed by his mother in an online post.
His wife’s employer, the Litongde Hospital in eastern China’s Zhejiang province, said it had suspended both the nurse and her lover.
Wang’s mother said on Weibo that her son committed suicide in a hotel room on August 2.
He discovered the love affair of his wife, surnamed Mao, and a thoracic surgeon, surnamed Liu, whom she worked with, three days before his death.
He stumbled upon messages between Mao and Liu while transferring data from her old phone to a new one he had just bought her. The messages revealed the pair were having sex.
