Alternative healer Hongchi Xiao sentenced to 10 years for diabetic woman's death during "slapping therapy."
Alternative healer Hongchi Xiao was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the manslaughter of 71-year-old diabetic Danielle Carr-Gomm, who died after stopping her insulin during a "slapping therapy" workshop in 2016. Xiao, with no medical qualifications, failed to seek medical help despite Carr-Gomm's severe symptoms. This is his second manslaughter conviction; he was previously prosecuted in Australia for a similar incident involving a six-year-old boy. The judge deemed Xiao dangerous and noted his lack of remorse and continued promotion of the therapy in prison.
