Chinese envoy to Israel found dead at home
JERUSALEM, May 17
China’s ambassador to Israel was found dead in his residence on Sunday and initial indications were that he had died of natural causes, an Israeli official said.
Du Wei (57) became ambassador to Israel in February, as per the embassy’s website. “Police are investigating this as death by natural causes,” an Israeli official said. A police spokesperson confirmed the ambassador’s death at the residence in coastal Herzliya, adding only that police were at the scene “as part of the regular procedure”.
