Exclusive - Overweight Chinese Woman Attempts to Drown Herself But Her Extra Weight Made Her Float to the Surface!

Depression is a serious mental illness that affects so many people today. Such mental illnesses drive people over the edge and unfortunately lead to suicidal tendencies. 

Suicide is never the answer life is a precious gift and there are so many things to live for and to do while you’re alive.

In a report by The Star, an overweight woman from Southern China failed her attempt at taking her own life when she jumped into a river. 

Apparently, her extra weight actually prevented her from drowning.

According to the Nanfang Daily, the unidentified woman attempted to end her life by jumping into the river located in Zhongshan, in the Guangdong province of Southern China last Friday.

Her weight provided her with the extra buoyancy needed for her to float to the surface. 

A fisherman who spotted the floating woman then immediately contacted the authorities. 

Rescuers managed to pull the lady to safety but struggled due to her weight. She was conscious throughout the entire incident and rescue.

Can you say awkward?

The lady was then taken to a hospital, under strict observation. One of the woman's friends revealed that she hails from the Sichuan province, although the friend couldn’t comment on why she would attempt to take her own life.

Regardless of what the reason for her attempt may be, we hope that she recovers both physically and mentally from her ordeal. 

In our opinion, she survived through a miracle from God.
