In a video uploaded to Duoyin (china version of TikTok), On Sunday, Jingjing started convulsing, shaking and dehydrated.

Past 48hrs
Mr Jingjing and another video uploaded by his aunt calling for justice have been increasingly censored in the past 48 hours.
He said;

Guo Jingjing Death Confirmed
The death and the circumstances surrounding Guo’s death have been confirmed. The girl’s condition had grossly deteriorated on Monday afternoon which prompted the family to move her to Ruzhou No.4 hospital that very evening.
Nevertheless, before she got to the hospital, she is already in a critical condition and she couldn’t be saved.
Guo’s death and the circumstances surrounding her death have created an outpouring of anger online. It portrays people expressing anger over her treatment and criticising President Xi Jinping’s Covid policies, which are unpopular with many people in China.
One user said;
“I am so angry. Why didn’t they just give her a [medicine] pill?”
Another said;
“It’s always like this. Nothing will ever change.”
