The firm has also declined to pay the man’s family compensation, sparking widespread outrage online.
The 50-year-old man, surnamed Zhou, worked the early shift at a residential community in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, northeastern China, Jimu News reported.
On July 15, he arrived at work an hour early, at around 7.00am.
After eating breakfast in the security room, he collapsed and was rushed to hospital but died.
