One suicide because of a lost 4g iPhone prototype

I admired that Apple kept such a perfect secret for the first generation iPhone before its announcement. Now it goes to the extreme: one 25-years old Foxconn employee, who handled shipment of 16 (4th generation?) iPhone prototypes, committed suicide after illegal detachment and lynched by Foxconn Security because of one missing prototype.

Here is the link to the original Chinese news, and a Google translated version.

Foxconn is the manufacturer who assembled the iPhone.
