Beijing: An official from northwest China's Qinghai Province allegedly committed suicide on Tuesday, less than a year after he was warned by the ruling Communist party for "disciplinary violations".
Feng Jianping, former head of Qinghai's provincial sports bureau, jumped to his death in a residential district in Xining City, Qinghai's capital.
Local police have ruled out the possibility of murder. Feng, 59, was removed from his post as the bureau head and secretary of the bureau committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in December 2013.
He was given a warning in October 2014 for "disciplinary violations" meaning allegations of corruption, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
Several officials have committed suicide in China in recent months following heightened anti-corruption drive by President Xi Jinping against party officials in the last two years.
