A mahjong parlour owner in Hunan province, China, paid 19,000 yuan (approximately US$2,800) in compensation to an elderly customer's family after the man collapsed and died during his visit. The owner, Xiao Aihua, attempted basic first aid by moving the man outdoors for fresh air and tried to call emergency services. Despite efforts, the man was pronounced dead later. The compensation was later refunded following government intervention.
