Healer is jailed after death of diabetic who stopped taking insulin

Danielle Carr-Gomm, 71, died at a week-long retreat in Seend, Wiltshire, in October 2016.

Hongchi Xiao, 61, was found guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence in July after failing to get medical help for Mrs Carr-Gomm.

Yesterday, he was also sentenced to a further five years on extended licence at Winchester Crown Court.

Xiao was extradited for the trial from Australia, where he was previously prosecuted after a sixyear-old died when his parents withdrew insulin after attending the workshop.
