我认识的王晓业
来源:文学城首页 » 热点讨论主题 » 我爱我家


法坛发贴求助的那人懂英语,也懂找律师,应该不是王晓业的亲兄弟,是他在upenn读书的buddy,叫zhong jihua, 就是照片上两人搂着肩膀合影的那个右边西服男。 zhong在1997年在upenn机械系做访问学者,和王晓业是一个lab里的。王晓业和他无话不谈,生活上的事都跟zhong jihua说,对zhong 是很够意思,对别人就远不如对zhong好多了。

zhong jihua做过1998年upenn的学生会主席,(如果我没记错的话),说话干脆利落,简明扼要,是个精明干练之人。后来因为upenn科研经费不足,zhong jihua面临失去饭碗,要到别处找机会,再后来可能确实回国海归了。

我感觉他这次出来是想帮王家一把。

王晓业交际虽然很广,但不少人也对他敬而远之,一来是他追过一些女孩,二来是他对已经有主的女孩也敢动,所以,大多数单身男或者正处于热恋中的男生都对他有所戒备,他们不希望王晓业惹到自己的女孩头上。

和我擦肩而过的王晓业
来源:文学城首页 » 热点讨论主题 » 我爱我家 » 人到中年

见到有人写"和我擦肩而过的李天乐",我也写两句有关王晓业吧. 前几天看到铊杀案,感觉王晓业名字隐约有些熟悉,但也没多想.昨天看到照片,才意识到他是我UPENN时的室友! 我们和另外一位共住一个3-BEDROOM APARTMENT FOR A YEAR. 不过,虽是室友,大家接触并不太多.人人都早出晚归,就周末还聊聊. 王晓业确实人缘不错,而且人品很正. 不过我对他印象最深的,倒是他结婚搬出后的一件小事.一天,路上邂逅相遇,调侃他有老婆后是不是乐不思蜀,他居然认真地回答说他见到不少男的满足于老婆孩子热炕头不思进取.他一定不会那样.人生要有追求才有意义.他还问了我些WALL STREET的事.真可惜,这样一个挺不错的人的LIFE WAS CUT SHORT. 不过,值得庆幸的是,他确实在不断追求他的人生目标,过了有意义一生. 这也算不幸中的万幸吧. 就此写两句以表怀念.

和我擦肩而过的李天乐
来源:文学城首页 » 热点讨论主题 » 人到中年

在城里瞎逛,铺天盖地是北大女杀清华夫的八卦。看到李天乐是北大90级从图书馆信息管理系转化学系的,再看看她的名字和照片,突然脑中一道闪光,二十年前的遥远记忆复活了 – 我认识她!

那时我对自己的热门专业越上课越缺乏兴趣 ,在90级化学系旁听一门课。除我外还有一个旁听生,是个白净秀气的女孩,就叫李天乐。因为就我们两个旁听生,我们经常坐在一起,有时缺课了就互相借看笔记,还一起和老师约给旁听生考试的时间。我旁听是三心二意的,李天乐却很认真,看来她是真的喜欢化学。我们除一起旁听过这门课外没别的交往。只记得她皮肤很细白,很文静的样子,每次来上课,和我打招呼时都笑眯眯的。我还依稀记得她那时的模样,看着她的出庭照片,越看越肯定是同一个人。突然就很烦躁伤感。真正是世事莫测。我们在各自的生活轨迹上擦肩而过,万万想不到同桌听课的那个秀气文静的,乐于借笔记给我的女孩,二十年后我会在报纸上看到她戴着手铐出庭的大幅照片。她经历了多少生活的残酷,时光的无情?二十年前她笑容灿烂的时候,何曾料到今日?

"Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." 二十年前,我们都拥有青春,美丽,对生活充满了希望。我相信她幸福过,甜蜜过。只是,“人无千日好,花无百日红”才是生活的常态。“记得当时年纪小”,再看看那时的亲朋故人,多少悲欢离合,多少物是人非。二十年前的我,和今天的我,又何尝能预知自己的漫漫人生路呢?

才发现那被"铊"杀的真的是...
来源:文学城首页 » 热点讨论主题 » 我爱我家 »


真的是他(想起这样的事会发生在自己身边禁不住浑身发抖):

被杀的王晓晔是清华精仪系的硕士生,本科南京大学的,硕士毕业就出国的,当时听他说读的是微机械,还说拿了全奖,现在才知道去的是u penn,他跟校方说自己没有钱买机票,问能不能预支奖学金,校方还真的就给他寄了支票(好像是2000美元的支票,我当时才知道原来还能这样做)。当时他是研究生,对本科生们并不友好,记得实验室新买的计算机,大家都在用,但是本科生们并没有妨碍他,但是有一天开始,他故意给实验室的计算机上了密码,只告诉另一个女研究生知道,不让我们用。感觉也是个心计重的人。当时并不知道他现在这个wife 的情况,当时有没有我们也不知道。也许两个心计重的人遇到了一起。

看了照片感觉很眼熟(比以前胖了),没想到真的是,居然他也来到这里工作,还出了事。一时间直觉得世事难料。很多人把这事归到清华北大的头上,我不觉得干清华北大什么事,死者也并非正宗清华人。其实也不干化学的事吧,不用毒用刀也可以女杀男。我只觉得中国教育普遍没有教给学生们一个正确的心理素质,而倒是人与人斗的故事居多,当我把国内买的故事给小孩子听的时候,lg不喜欢,跟我说,怎么都是人跟人斗的,斗赢了就觉得自己很聪明似的。反倒是 thomas的故事我们更喜欢,讲的是友情和合作的故事,我们更喜欢给小孩子看。到了国外,朋友少,压力大,性格孤僻的遇到问题无法开解,心理素质不健全的问题就凸现出来。2个人过不下去可以离婚,考虑到彼此的往日恩情和孩子,也可以彼此让一让,退一步,何至于要斗到你死我活。把兔子逼急了兔子也会咬人,当然也许有的兔子更爱咬人一些。

爆料一下李天乐
来源:文学城首页 » 热点讨论主题 » 我爱我家 »


我的同事的朋友跟李一个公司,BMS的,认识李。据说那里的中国人都没办法和她友好相处,她脾气很坏,而且不能容忍别人意见跟她不一样,总以为自己是对的。

据说他们离婚的原因是因为08年她生完孩子,婆婆来帮忙,婆媳矛盾冲突,李居然打她婆婆的耳光。婆婆走的时候跟他们说再也不来了。那以后,王开始要和李离婚。

据说王很开朗,很好的一个人,没有外遇。

他们的孩子在接受医院的化验,化验头发,结果还没出来,还在医院的监护下。

是不是她杀的我不知道,但能打婆婆耳光的人好不到哪里去

單身老貓 于 2011-02-01

就您目前所提供的資料,可能沒有任何太好的建議. (您需要提供詳細的資料,包括人,事,地,物)

同時"聳人聽聞"的標題幫不了您什麼,如果您希望這樣可以吸引人注意,您真正很該死,如果這是真正的情況,請向了家屬轉達老貓的慰問與關懷. 同時如果有其他的需要,可以直接與老貓聯繫. (記住,人在做,天在看)  

原則上這是老貓能夠立即想到的事.  

(立即要做的)

(A) DO NOT sign anything !  (除非你們真正了解所簽署的東西是什麼,特別是國內來的家屬英文不見得好,所以你們需要協助家屬了解每一個需要簽署的文件的內容與用途)

(B) Find the original documents

  (I)銀行帳戶的資料

 (II)信用卡的資料

  (III)任何個人的保險資料 (人壽險,意外險...)

  (IV)任何遺囑.

(V)個人的債務

(VI)任何動產與不動產(房契,地契)的資料

(VII)車的資料.(車的 title,保險..)

(法律上)

如果這是一個刑事案件,(如同您標題所說的)家屬需要與當地司法機構直接聯絡,一般任何其他非家屬 (包括中領館的工作人員)很難做什麼. 同時在司法調查沒有完成之前,希望您不要再到處宣揚這是他的老婆所為,畢竟任何人在司法之前在沒有經過審判定罪之前都是無辜的,同時您並不知道"內情" (除非您是主只蚴枪卜�)所以您應該做的是協助家屬處理後事,而不是為朋友"申張正義",這個部份應該有司法機構來處理. 你應該"閉上你的嘴"... (很抱歉,老貓對於這個部份相當的不客氣,因為這是唯一能夠保障當事人的家屬與您的方式)

如果這是一個工業上的意外死亡,當事人的家屬需要找當地的律師(處理工商意外事故專業)來處理,然而先決條件是,必須要求當地的司法單位 release 死亡原因的調查報告.

如果這是一個醫療糾紛,同樣的,當事人的家屬需要找當地的律師 (處理醫療事故專業)來處理,然而先決條件是,必須要求當地法院出具命令要求醫院封鎖所有病患的醫療資料...

後事上 (資料引用)這個資料中有商業的廣告,所以老貓節錄部份內容如下.

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2899444/what_should_you_do_if_a_friend_or_family.html?cat=17

(A)Report the Death to Thai Police - The most important thing you should do first is report the death of your friend or family member to the Thai police. By law, this must be done within the first 24 hours of death.

Reporting the Death to Your Embassy - While many foreigners will attempt to inform their embassy of the death, this actually isn't necessary. The Thai police will do it for you, and two reports may cause confusion, so let them do it. You can always contact your embassy later if you have any questions or need help.

Medical Examination - Once you have reported your friend or family member's death, the police will arrive and take the deceased's body to the Medical Examiner's office. Here, an autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death. If the cause of death is determined to be suspicious (ie: foul play), the body will be held for a longer amount of time while a criminal investigation is begun and the body is examined for any other evidence.

Release of the Body - If the Medical Examiner decides your friend or family member died of natural causes or as the result of an accident, their body will be released to you within a couple of days. The Medical Examiner's office will also give you a death certificate, which you will need to use for any official business both in Thailand and back in your own country so make sure you don't lose it.
Return of the Body to Deceased's Home Country - Obviously, this is a more complicated, and much more expensive, choice than a basic Thai cremation ceremony.

Should you decide to repatriate the deceased's body, you will need the original medical examiner's death certificate, a civil death certificate (which you can also get at the ME's office), a letter stating you have permission to take the body out of the country, and a document certifying that the body has been embalmed (bodies are not allowed to be returned to the deceased's home country unless they have first been embalmed for health reasons).

You will then need to find an international funeral director, who will be well-versed in taking care of all of the arrangements. You will simply need to provide the paperwork, and sign any documents, and everything will be taken care of, including pick up of the deceased in their home country and transfer to a funeral home near where they are going to be buried

#

民事上

你們應該協助家屬整理死者的遺物與財產,同時去 ME (medical examiner ) office 取得死者的驗屍報告與死亡證明,然後去

(A)DMV office 註銷他的駕照.

(B)去銀行 close 他的銀行帳戶.

(C)Collect 他的 Social Security benefit (詳細資料如下)

http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10008.html

(D) Collect 他的保險,(如果死因不涉及任何刑事犯罪的問題)

(E)準備所有稅務資料 for inheritance tax retturn. (各州有不同的表格,你們應該詢問當地的稅務機構). (如果當事人沒有預留遺囑,你們可能需要諮詢當地的律師來處理)

其他問題,其實你們可以詢問當地的葬儀社,一般他們會知道如何處理. 同時您可以參考這個資料

hi, 老猫,

非常感谢!

不好意思, 事情仓促。 我也很忙。 没写清楚。 不过是事实。 他老婆IS UNDER INVESTIGATION. 这是警察跟我说的。我没说她犯罪。如果有误导,请见谅。 现在最主要的是要有NEXT KIN 的证明, 这样警察就会RELEASE INFORMATION 给他的家人。 我们正在和警方交涉。

但是你知道我们不是律师。所以需要一些指导。该怎么做。 自己心里有数。如果可能,我能直接和你联系吗?

来源:文学城首页 » 热点讨论主题 » 人在北美
7.5 于 2011-02-09

Time Line

2000: Got married. 10-year marriage up to August, 2010

2008, some time before July, their son was born.

  (It is natural to assume that they were under the stress of taking care of the
  newborn since then.)

September, 2008, moved to Monroe (should be Monroe Township, according to
  their property address), New Jersy.

  They purchased a house in September.
  Seven months later they started to call police due to bitter arguments.


April 2009 ~ July, 2010, More than 5 times call to police due to arguments.

  No one was injured and no restraining orders were ever filed as a result of the
  police visits.

  (The reasons of arguments have not been released by police.)


June, 2010, Wang moved out of the couple's home on Stanley Drive home in Monroe
  and into a Jersey City apartment.

July, 2010, Wang, 39, filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.
  He also sought joint custody of the couple’s 2-year-old son, Isaac.

August, 2010, Li, 40, counter-sued, citing the same reason and adding there was
  "no hope for reconciliation."

Jan. 14, 2011, the day a hearing would be held to finalize the divorce, Wang
  admitted himself to the University Medical Center in Princeton with "virus-like"
  symptoms. He died 12 days later from thallium poisoning, which authorities allege
  was administered by his wife.

  Thallium poisoning typically includes loss of hair, thickened skin, severe
  gastrointestinal pain and loss of feeling in the extremities. Wang didn't present
  many of those symptoms until a few days after his arrival, Marcus said.

Jan. 22 or 23, 2011, Wang lapsed into a coma. Wang did not respond to treatment
  and continued to worsen.

  At that point a nurse recalled cases of thallium poisoning in China in the 1990s
  and suggested Wang's urine be tested, Sewitch said. No lab in New Jersey was
  capable of performing the test, so Wang's urine sample was sent out of state.

  Twenty-four hours later, the diagnosis of thallium poisoning was confirmed and
  Marcus was notified.

Jan. 25, 2011, around 9 p.m., Steven Marcus, the medical and executive director
  of New Jersey Poison Control, received a call from University Medical Center in
  Princeton. A doctor was on the other end of the line telling him about Wang
  and that thallium had been discovered in his system.

  ...Steven Marcus launched efforts to seek treatment...

  Nearly two hours after leaving his home, Marcus arrived in Princeton. The
  non-medical grade Prussian Blue had been administered through a gastric tube,
  but Wang had showed no response.

  In the meantime, Marcus had contacted a federal facility near Albany, N.Y., that
  had the purer form of the antidote, and an SUV was dispatched to Princeton. When
  it finally arrived five hours later, Wang was near death.

  The antidote would be useless. Marcus, along with a number of doctors and nurses,
  stood beside Wang'bed, unable to do anything more.

  Sometime around 3 p.m. on Jan. 26, as several detectives stood nearby, Wang's
  heart monitor flatlined.

Jan, 26, 2011, around 3 p.m., Wang died.

Jan, 28, 2011, Li was initially charged with hindering her own
  apprehension after she made false statements to investigators on Jan. 28, two
  days after her husband died, The Star-Ledger reported.

  The New Jersey State Police and Middlesex County Hazardous Materials Units
  conducted a search of the Wang's Middlesex County home and concluded that
  no one else had been exposed to the toxic metal.

  According to the Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office, Li obtained an
  undetermined amount Thallium and fed it to her husband sometime in December
  2010 or January 2011. Nicholas Sewitch, deputy assistant Middlesex County
  prosecutor, declined to release specifics on how Li allegedly poisoned Wang.

  At room temperature, Thallium is a very pliant, dissolvable metal you can
  cut with a knife. It is easily absorbed through the skin by inhalation, or
  ingested orally. Thallium dissolves quickly in liquids so if one were to use
  it as a poison; its salts are colorless, odorless and tasteless, therefore
  making it undetectable in food or soft drinks. Thallium poisoning takes
  several days to manifest so one would not know they have been poisoned right
  away.

  Dr. Anil Aggrawal, professor of Forensic Medicine and Editor-in-Chief of
  the Internet Journal of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology said the amount
  of Thallium needed to kill a human being would be about 0.6 to 0.7g,
  considered the somewhat less than the average dose, and death would likely
  occur within 11 to 16 days.


Feb. 8, 2011. Hearing in which Li was charged with the murder of Xiaoye Wang, 39.

  Tianle Li, 40, dressed in green jail garb and wearing gold glasses, calmly listened
  as Superior Court Judge Michael Toto explained her rights and what legal procedures
  would follow today's hearing.

  Li remained at the Middlesex County jail in North Brunswick today in lieu of
  $4.15 million bail, charged with murder and hindering her own apprehension by
  "lying to police" when they began investigating Wang's death, Sewitch said.

  Her attorney, Steven Altman, said his client denies having anything to do with
  her husband's death.

Feb. 10, 2011, the divorce hearing, which was postponed due to his illness, had
  been rescheduled for today.

A 15-year-old case yields a timely clue in deadly thallium poisoning
Published: Sunday, February 13, 2011, 8:00 AM    
Updated: Sunday, February 13, 2011, 8:17 AM
By Star-Ledger Staff

MONROE — In April 1995, two college undergraduates in China posted a message on the internet:

"Hi. This is Peking University … A young 21-year old student has become very sick and is dying … Doctors at the best hospitals in Beijing cannot cure her … So now we are asking the world — can somebody help us?"

Their friend, Zhu Ling, a chemistry student, was suffering stomach pain and hair loss and was slowly becoming immobilized. The paralysis had spread up into her diaphragm and was now preventing her from breathing. If the cause wasn’t found soon, she would probably die.

More than 2,000 people around the world heeded the call for help, and a graduate student and professor in the department of radiological sciences at UCLA reviewed the replies and came up with an answer: thallium poisoning.

Ling’s doctors tested their patient, confirmed the diagnosis and administered the only known antidote, Prussian blue, according to international news accounts. Ling survived, but was left with permanent neurological damage and severe cognitive deficits.

The case was widely publicized in China. Police questioned one of Ling’s roommates, but no one was ever charged.

That same year, Tianle Li, who today sits in a North Brunswick jail charged with fatally poisoning her husband, graduated with a degree in chemistry from Tshingua University, which is in the same Beijing neighborhood as Peking University.

It is impossible to know if Li knew about the Ling case, but a nurse at University Medical Center in Princeton remembered it last month, according to Steven Marcus, medical and executive director of New Jersey Poison Control.

Although authorities have refused to release the name of the nurse, it was she who suggested testing Li’s then-critically ill husband for thallium poisoning. The results were positive, but the rush to save Xiaoye Wang’s life ultimately proved futile.

Middlesex County Assistant Prosecutor Nicholas Sewitch confirmed last week that Wang was given a "lethal, massive" amount of thallium.

Sprinkled on food or dissolved in liquid, thallium has been called the "poisoner’s poison" and "inheritance powder." It’s been dusted on doughnuts, cakes and protein shakes; dissolved in bottles of cola and beer; poured into cups of tea and glasses of vodka; and found in saltshakers, candy canes and boxes of chocolate.

Thallium is a rare, nondescript heavy metal, and it is what prosecutors say Bristol-Myers Squibb chemist Li allegedly used to kill her husband.

Li, who has a 2-year-old son by Wang, remains in jail in lieu of $4.15 million bail. Her attorney, Steven Altman, says he plans to file motions Monday for two hearings.
"The bail is extremely excessive," he said. "She wants her child. She has no reason to leave or go anywhere."

The other hearing is for probable cause, to force the prosecutor’s office to "show information that (she) poisoned her husband or have the judge order her released."
While unusual as a murder weapon, thallium has been the tool of choice for everyone from spiteful spouses to heads of state seeking to punish political opponents.
Amnesty International and investigators from the World Health Organization say that thallium was used under Iraqi despot Saddam Hussein to kill hundreds of dissidents.

In 1981, Shawkat Akrawi, an industrial chemist in Iraq, made a surreptitious phone call from a Baghdad hospital to a reporter at New Scientist magazine in Great Britain. He spoke in Kurdish, according to an article the magazine published a short time later:

"The accident they arranged didn’t kill me," Akrawi told the reporter, "so they gave me thallium in the hospital where I am being treated."

Akrawi told the writer, "Say goodbye to everybody." Then the line went dead.

PAINFUL POISON

Experts say thallium, which is colorless, odorless and tasteless, is often chosen by the nefarious because it is slow-acting, painful and its wide-ranging symptoms are suggestive of a host of other illnesses and conditions.

"There is a triad of symptoms: gastrointestinal, peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage to the extremities) and hair loss," said Steven Marcus, medical and executive director of New Jersey Poison Control.

Marcus says those who choose thallium as a weapon "tend to be more cowardly than other kind of murderers. Poison puts a distance so the poisoner doesn’t have to be near when the victim dies."

In 1962, a year after Agatha Christie published a thallium-based murder mystery, a British teen named Graham Young used the heavy metal to kill his stepmother and sicken several other family members. Although committed to an institution for the criminally insane, Young was released in 1971 and promptly killed two co-workers and seriously injured two more — all with thallium poisoning. Young was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences, and in 1990 died in prison from a heart attack at age 42.

As recently as 2002, a 61-year-old Long Island woman, Ann Perry, confessed to poisoning her longtime boyfriend by lacing his milkshake with thallium.
In 1997, Joann Curley of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., confessed to authorities she’d killed her husband six years earlier by spiking his daily thermos of ice tea with thallium over nine months.

Before the downfall of apartheid, South African agents had plans to slip thallium into Nelson Mandela’s medication, according to a report from the country’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. And last year, a former senior adviser to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat alleged Israeli military agents poisoned Arafat with the heavy metal.

Even the CIA had dreamed up a plot to use thallium to embarrass Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. The idea was, according to Senate hearings held in the mid-1970s, to dust Castro’s shoes with thallium so the hair of his legendary beard would fall out.

Thallium is relatively slow-acting, and a lethal dose usually takes almost two weeks to debilitate and kill, according to experts. Symptoms don’t begin until days after the poison is ingested and often start with stomach pain and vomiting.

When Wang was admitted to the hospital in Princeton on Jan. 14, he was scheduled to appear in court with his wife to finalize their divorce. Hours before he became ill, however, he called his lawyer, Michael Green. Wang was distraught, says Green, because he needed to postpone the hearing. His wife’s aunt was suddenly ill and had been taken to the emergency room.

Although Li’s aunt recovered and returned home that day — she later tested negative for thallium, according to Li’s criminal attorney, Altman — a new court date was set for Jan. 27.

But on either Jan. 25 or 26, says Green, he received a call from Li’s divorce lawyer, Frederick Simon, saying Li had just informed him that Wang had been in the hospital since Jan. 14 and the divorce proceedings would again have to be postponed.

"She did not inform my adversary or me that he was sick or passed until the day he died," Green said. "That was shocking to me to say the least."

RETURNS HOME

Although Wang had rented an apartment in Jersey City, he had moved back into the couple’s home in Monroe several months earlier, according to Green, because he "wanted to spend a considerable amount of time with his child."

Green said he had been trying to reach his client by phone for two weeks, but to no avail; only when Simon phoned him and told him there was a story in the newspaper about Wang’s death did he know his client was deceased.

Rich Huang, co-founder of the financial analytics company PolyPaths in Manhattan, and Wang’s boss for the past four years, did not know either.

"On Monday (Jan. 17) he called in saying he was not feeling well and was in the hospital," said Huang. "He got along with everyone in the company. … Everyone is in shock."

Wang is gone, Li is in jail, and the couple’s son, Isaac, is in the care of the Division of Youth and Family Services. When one of the parties dies before a divorce can be finalized in New Jersey, the issue of custody enters what lawyers call a "black hole," said Li’s divorce attorney, Simon.

Last week, the only person answering the door at the couple’s stately home on Stanley Drive in Monroe was Li’s aunt. Speaking in Mandarin, she refused to answer a reporter’s questions.

Li has no other relatives in the United States, according to Simon. She came to America in 1998, he said, married in 2000 and became a citizen in August 2010.

"The issue is whether Mr. Wang’s family (in China) has an interest in pursuing any of the issues that came up in the divorce proceedings," said Simon, because right now, "we’re in the black hole."

卡总贴的朱令中毒的事件,天涯上有一个百页的帖子,我跟过,据说当年被怀疑投毒的学生,是有背景和家世的,也不知道真的假的,后来还被网友人肉过。朱令的家,就在北京的方庄,和我是一个小区,她定期都在老父母和保姆的照顾下,在方庄的一所医院康复。

可怜她的老父母,一双儿女都是聪慧过人,大女儿也是考取北京重点大学的,还没毕业去北京郊区游玩儿就神秘失踪了,再也找不到,连尸骨最后都没有找到。朱令又是这么个样子。好像他们班很多同学都在美国,为她成立了一个基金会,能帮一点是一点的,哎!

人间悲剧。
