Hack VC Partner Hsin-Ju’s cause of death was determined to be suicide; investigation remains ongoing

BlockBeats news,September 26, autopsy records from the San Bernardino County Coroner’s Office in the United States show that the former Hack VC partner and platform head Hsin-Ju’s manner of death was determined to be suicide. The California Highway Patrol said that an investigation into the circumstances remains ongoing.

According to earlier reports, the former Hack VC partner and platform head Hsin-Ju was August 24 found dead near an Interstate 15 freeway ramp in California’s Mojave Desert at the age of just 37; her death occurred exactly the day after she claimed she would expose Hack VC. Investigators said at the time that the cause of death was still under investigation, and it was not yet clear whether her death was caused by extreme heat, a sudden illness, mechanical failure, or another factor.

At August 23 local time, Hsin-Ju posted on X that she had rejected Hack VC settlement offer and would publicly disclose on August 26 relevant evidence from her time at Hack VC. Hsin-Ju had previously said that while employed, she was required to continue working despite a medical emergency and was threatened by the company with being blacklisted in the industry if she resigned before the event was completed. After the incident, she accused the company of mishandling her health insurance after her departure and of continuing to pressure her during legal negotiations. She has now dismissed her lawyer and said she would rather forgo a settlement payment than refrain from making the matter public. Subsequently,Hack VC posted on X that it had taken note of the post and was deeply concerned about Hsin-Ju’s health. It also said that its understanding of the incident differed substantially from the content published by Hsin-Ju, but that out of respect for privacy, it did not wish to discuss the details publicly at this time.
