A couple fell to their deaths after a window they were having sex against gave way in China.
The pair are said to have fallen from the window of an apartment block in the Chinese city of Wuhan when the window they were leaning against shattered.
Witnesses told Chinese media that the couple clung to each other as they fell to the pavement outside.
According to The Sun, a source in China said: 'With the two of them holding each other tight, they fell out of the building.'
Shocking pictures emerged on a local website showing the couple being covered in sheets by police.
Blood is spattered on the pavement nearby and detectives are seen examining the scene.
The couple's bodies were pictured close to a bicycle which was laying on the ground, but there were no reports that anyone on the ground was injured in the incident.
Reports suggest that the windows in the apartment block were of poor quality.
It is thought that the man and woman may have been trying to keep cool by the window when the incident happened.
It is unclear how high up the pair were when they fell.
The infamous 'Minnesota Iceman' will be exhibited at Museum of the Weird in Austin, Texas, starting next week after touring at fairgrounds and malls across the country in the late 60s and early 70s.
The museum's owner, Steve Busti, said Wednesday that the frozen, 'Neanderthal or Bigfoot-like monster' will be on display beginning July 3.
The iceman, 6-feet-tall, was billed as 'The Siberskoye Creature' or 'The Creature of Ice' beginning in 1968. The hairy creature was displayed in a solid block of ice inside a refrigerated coffin.
A man named Frank Hansen exhibited the iceman and claimed to have been behind its discovery, according to the book 'Bigfoot Exposed: An Anthropologist Examines America's Enduring Legend'.
Two cryptozoologists, Ivan Sanderson and Bernard Heuvelmans, examined the body during their search for evidence of Bigfoot the same year the iceman became a carnival exhibit.
The pair believed the creature to be a real, unknown species, with Sanderson even remarking he could smell a decomposing corpse through cracks in the icy tomb.
The pair believed the creature to be an evolutionary missing link--Heuvelmans even dubbed him 'Homo pongoides'.
After the two cryptozoologists examined the creature, Sanderson convinced someone at the Smithsonian Institution to launch an official investigation. Unfortunately, Hansen reportedly switched the 'real' body with a latex dummy before an investigation took place.
At first, Hansen suggested he found the iceman in Siberia, but he confessed he shot the creature in Minnesota woods before putting it on ice. As a result of these new claims, the FBI almost became involved, thinking Hansen had been exhibiting a murder victim.
When the Smithsonian assessed the Iceman--after Hansen said he switched it with a dummy--the museum stated it was 'satisfied that the creature is simply a carnival exhibit made of latex rubber and hair...the "original" model and the present so-called "substitute" are one and the same', according to 'Bigfoot Exposed'.
Investigators with the Smithsonian also discovered a company on the West Coast made Hasen an iceman in 1967, but whether or not it was just a replica of the 'real' iceman. The company Hansen commissioned to make the dummy never saw an original.
After touring through the early 70s, the creature and its eccentric owner remained out of the public eye until 10 years ago, The Huffington Post reported.
After investigating its whereabouts for two years, Busti tracked down Hansen's family and bought the frozen beast or rubber impersonation, depending on who's talking.
A police raid of an illegal food store in southern China has exposed tonnes of rancid, decades-old chicken feet being 'processed' to be sold to unassuming customers.
The decaying feet, some dating back to 1967, were being 'cleaned up', plumped up and whitened at the 'foul-smelling' plant using bleach and other chemicals, before being prepared for sale.
Police, who raided the criminal operation in May, said they also found beef tripe, cartilage and other out-of-date animal organs - all of which had been smuggled across the border from neighbouring Vietnam. In total 20 tonnes of illegal meat was seized.
According to local media, the gang, based in Nanning, the capital city of south China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, was able to make up to 16,000 yuan (£1,750) profit on every tonne of the putrid meat, by injecting it with chemicals, increasing its weight by 50 per cent.
Among the seized meats over the last 12 months, police have found hundreds of bears' paws - another bizarre food sought after by Chinese chefs.
A teenage boy who sexually abused his little sister while babysitting had been watching online porn, a court has heard.
The 17-year-old repeatedly seriously abused the four-year-old child until the victim eventually told their mother what he had been doing.
She reported her son to the police and when interviewed the boy, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, admitted his behaviour had been 'disgusting and loathsome'.
Sentencing the youth, who is now 18, to three and a half years detention Judge Mark Brown described him as an intelligent young man who had known what he was doing was wrong.
He said that the youth had treated her in a 'most appalling and dreadful fashion' because he had been sexually aroused.
The defendant had pleaded guilty to attempted rape and five offences of sexual assault. He said that the boy, who had been bullied at school, largely because of his weight, was socially isolated.
Following the death of his father he had become even less outgoing and when he was 16 was convicted of indecent exposure. SOURCE
Everyday beauty and cleaning products are being blamed for an epidemic of skin allergies.
Preservatives used in Nivea skin lotion, some L’Oreal creams and Wet Ones cleaning wipes are being linked to an outbreak of acute allergic contact dermatitis, mostly in women over 40.
The ingredients – MI and MCI – are also found in mascara, shower gels and washing up liquids.
Dermatologists say there has been a surge in allergic reactions –including facial swelling, itching, hives and redness – caused by exposure to the preservatives.
Dr John McFadden, consultant dermatologist at St Thomas’ Hospital, London, is urging the cosmetics industry to take action.
A team at the Leeds Centre for Dermatology also discovered a sharp rise of 6.2 per cent in sensitivity in contact allergy to the ingredients over the past three years.
They suspect the legal limit of 0.01 per cent of MI in personal care products is too high.
Specialists presenting research to the British Association of Dermatologists’ conference in Liverpool this week say the levels should be cut further, or eliminated.
In the US, the American Contact Dermatitis Society named MI ‘contact allergen of the year’ for 2013 to draw attention to its potential for triggering reactions.
