A young Chinese worker suspected of stealing a prototype for the fourth generation iPhone has committed suicide. Sun Danyong worked for Foxconn, one of Apple's largest manufacturers. The Taiwanese firm has begun an investigation following claims made by the worker's former classmates that he had been beaten by security staff. Apple says it is saddened by the death and is waiting for the results of the investigation. Sun Danyong was 25. He threw himself off a 12-storey building last week. (source: news.bbc.co.uk)
