While we recently reported news of the 12th Foxconn employee to attempt a suicide, that number is already dated.
According to a string of tweets, reports, pulled (allegedly censored) reports and translations, now 15 Foxconn employees have jumped in attempted suicide – two of whom seem to have been part of a successful double suicide. To make matters worse, a potential 16th was spotted on the roof in the picture seen here. We haven’t heard any update regarding that potential jumper at this time.

Friday, May 28, 2010 at 3:00 PMMaybe coincidence but the suicides seem to have increased in frequency since the news went mainstream public.
