From the BBC (via Drudge):
A Chinese editor has died as a result of a police beating he received for his paper's reporting on corruption, journalists and rights groups say.
Wu Xianghu had been in hospital since the attack in October, suffering from an existing liver problem made worse by the beating, earlier reports said.
Wu was reportedly attacked by some 50 policemen after his paper accused them of charging illegal bicycle fees.
Is it just me, or is there a pattern here?
