Hongchi Xiao found guilty of gross negligence manslaughter after two diabetic patients died under his care during controversial therapy workshops.

  • Xiao promoted 'Paida Lajin' therapy, which involves slapping and stretching to release toxins.
  • Danielle Carr-Gomm, 71, died after stopping insulin during Xiao's workshop in Wiltshire, UK.
  • Xiao had previously been convicted in Australia for the death of a six-year-old boy under similar circumstances.
  • Critics argue the therapy lacks scientific basis and can cause serious harm.
