Woman Fined in Hotel Death of Married Lover
A man in China died in a hotel room after being intimate with his lover.
He had health issues before.
The court decided that the woman was partly responsible because she didn't get help right away and because of the affair.
She was ordered to pay part of the money the family wanted.
The hotel was not held responsible.
