apparently of starvation, in an apartment in Tainan after her mother — her main source of financial support — died in June and her younger sister refused to support her, according to police.
The woman, surnamed Hsieh, who was once a fashion designer, lost her job about 10 years ago and became financially dependent on her mother, who worked as a domestic helper, according to a Sept. 30 Apple Daily report.
Hsieh was found dead by police when they tracked her to her home to arrest her for failing to appear in court after she got caught shoplifting in late July and early August, according to the report.
When police reached her home on the sixth floor of an old apartment building, they broke in and found Hsieh, dead and reduced to an emaciated state.
