To make matters worse, the roommate fled as the incident unfolded, shut the door behind him, compounding Du Junhao’s dangerous predicament.

Du was a third-year student at Wuhan City College, in central China’s Hubei province, when the devastating accident happened last summer.

He was looking forward to opening his own furniture installation business after graduation.
