The family of a woman in Guangzhou who died suddenly last week, say she was killed by overwork.

China Daily reports that He Chunmei, 30, from Southwest China's Sichuan Province, started working at the Guangzhou Huaxin Handicraft Factory in February.

At 7AM last Friday, she collapsed and fell into coma after working for 24 hours. Her younger brother, He Maojun, who works at the same factory, sent his sister to a local hospital, but she died at 9:30AM.

Wu Ziyin, deputy director of the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Labour and Social Security told China Daily that they are investigating the case.
