The next day (April 26th), a group of prison guards threw Zhu Yinfang into a room and started torturing her. They tightened her handcuffs. Some of them stomped on her legs. Others punched and kicked her. People could hear her horrible screams even though her mouth was taped shut.

Zhu Yinfang slipped into a coma as a result of the torture and after prison guards called for help, two nurses tried but could not revive her. They then found a doctor, who pronounced, "This person is dead. She is not in a coma!"

In order to cover up their crimes, the prison guards shut everyone behind doors and forbade them from observing and then they quickly cleaned up the crime scene.
