Statement of Baotou Steel Pipe Company on the death of "3.24"

Wang long, male, born in July 1987, joined the work in July 2010. He is a steelmaker in Baotou Steel Pipe Co., Ltd. Disappeared on the night shift on March 24, 2021. The steel pipe company immediately organized personnel to carry out the search, and the background surveillance video showed that Wang long threw the helmet and gloves off the slag channel at 22:54 on March 24 at the fire shield door of the No. 7 converter, and then jumped into the slag tank and died. At present, after a preliminary investigation by the public security organs, criminal cases have been excluded and they have committed suicide. The municipal emergency management department also believes that it does not belong to enterprise production safety accidents.

According to workers, Wang long is introverted and is still unmarried. He bought futures and stocks through securities companies for a long time and lost more than 60,000 yuan in trading on March 24 alone. It is suspected that his suicide was related to the large amount of losses, excessive debts and inability to repay. We express our deep sorrow for the deceased and actively do a good job in pacifying family members and psychological counseling for staff and workers. At present, the workforce is stable. In the next step, we will actively cooperate with the public security organs to conduct investigations and properly do a good job in dealing with the aftermath. The follow-up situation will be announced to the public in a timely manner.
