徐才厚
On 2 September 2014, Jiang Zhonghua jumped to his death from Yidong Kaili Hotel (怡東凱麗酒店) in Zhoushan. Jiang was believed to have come under investigation for corruption by the Central Discipline Inspection Commission, and may have committed suicide to avoid disgrace and allow his family to receive his retirement benefits, or to avoid implicating his superiors. There was no official announcement regarding his death. About two months later, Vice Admiral Ma Faxiang committed suicide in Beijing under similar circumstances. Both Jiang and Ma are thought to be connected to the corruption cases of the former vice chairmen of the Central Military Commission, Xu Caihou and Guo Boxiong.
