China's top female forensic expert said she decided to quit the Chinese Forensic Medicine Association and the profession over Ma Yue's case.

Wang Xuemei, the first female forensic doctor of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, made public her decision on Saturday in a video released with a micro blog posting by Ma's mother, whose son died in Beijing's subway in 2010.

Wang said the result from the association was ridiculous, making her greatly ashamed of the appraisal, according to the micro blog.

As the association's vice-chairwoman, the 57-year-old doctor said she could not tolerate her name appearing with such an irresponsible appraisal and was confused at the same time, so she decided to resign and will not participate in the association's activities in the future.

Wang, who said she has worked in forensics for more than 30 years, also decided to quit the Chinese forensic team because she said she was disappointed and even despaired for the profession.

A report, which was given to the government in the capital's Xicheng district, said Ma died of electrocution after he fell from a subway platform.

In her video, Wang said the electrocution happened before Ma fell because the victim had a wound on his chin, which meant he first suffered an electric shock and then fell when he lost his balance.

China Daily was unable to contact the senior forensic examiner by Monday.
