"Bad things happen to heads of Chinese conglomerates that have suffered a falling out with Beijing: one year ago, the head of Anbang, Wu Xiaohui, who at one point was the most voracious money launderer acquiror of companies around the globe (and was linked to Jared Kishner's 666 Fifth Avenue building), mysteriously disappeared for an extended period of time after he was detained by Chinese authorities. Fast forward to today, when the chairman and co-founder of China's other conglomerate, HNA Group, died in Provence, France, the company said on Wednesday, in what appears to have been a freak photography accident.

Wang Jian, 57, was injured in a fall during a business trip, and died on Tuesday, according to a brief statement.

The company did not give the circumstances of Wang’s death or provide an exact location. A clerk at the Chinese embassy in Paris said she had no information on the case, according to SCMP. The company also published its website in monochrome as an apparent mark of respect.

According to Chinese business and finance magazine Caixin, Wang fell from a high place near Avignon. He was taken to a local hospital for emergency treatment but fell into a coma. The sources said that Wang woke up at one point and complained that “my feet hurt”."
