[Global Network Comprehensive Report Reporter Zhao Youping] Taiwan media such as United News Network reported on the 21st that in mid-November, a female body was found in an empty container shipped from Los Angeles, the United States, to Taichung Port, Taiwan. The deceased was an American. After an autopsy and autopsy, the Taichung District Prosecutor's Office initially found that the woman's "stomach was empty" and she may have died from long-term starvation. However, the cause of her death is still under investigation as the results of blood and other tests have not yet been released. China Times News reported that the woman "starved to death" on the way.

According to previous reports by Taiwanese media, staff at Taichung Port 32 opened an empty container shipped to Taiwan from Los Angeles, the United States, and found a body when inspecting the container on November 16. Taichung The police reported to the International Section of the Criminal Bureau to contact the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) and the police to assist in notifying the family, and it was found that the deceased was a 41-year-old American woman.

According to United News Network , the Taichung District Prosecutor's Office stated on the 21st that after an autopsy, it was found that there was no food residue in the stomach and intestines of the American woman. It was determined that she had been in a state of chronic hunger before her death. The prosecutor said that based on experience, if a normal diet was followed before death, some undigested food residues would be found in the stomach and intestines after autopsy. However, in this case, the woman's "stomach was empty," and it was reasonable to infer that she was affected by long-term hunger.

The prosecutor stated that there are only preliminary autopsy results at present, and relevant samples such as organs, bone marrow, and blood were also collected and sent for examination. Whether there are signs of poisoning or other drugs in the woman's blood related to the cause of death is still awaiting the release of a detailed report.

China Times News Network said that it is understood that the woman was suspected of accidentally crashing into an empty container and was transported to Taiwan without being discovered. She may have "starved to death" on the way.

According to previous reports by Taiwanese media, the container in question was shipped to Los Angeles in October, and then returned to Taiwan empty on October 22. It was learned that the container was empty when it was declared at customs. At about 2 p.m. on November 16, the container involved in the incident was unloaded at Container Terminal No. 32 of Taichung Port. Due to a suspected body odor coming from the container, the staff opened the container and inspected the body, and then reported the case to the police.
