A WAREHOUSE keeper with SF-Express died Saturday morning after drinking too much alcohol during a dinner party with his colleagues, the Southern Metropolis Daily reported Sunday.

The 27-year-old man, surnamed Liu, was living in Shenzhen with his mother and his brother’s child. Liu’s mother said that he had come home at around 1 a.m. Saturday and died at home four hours later.

Liu’s brother said that Liu had been employed by SF-Express since the end of 2014. According to Liu’s family members, Liu got engaged with his girlfriend, who lived in their hometown in Shanxi Province, in March and they were planning to get married at the end of the year.

According to SF-Express, Liu and over a dozen employees at the company drank alcohol at a self-organized dinner party Friday night. Liu and some of his colleagues went to a karaoke bar after dinner, and his colleagues brought him home at midnight at which point, according to them, “he was still OK.”

SF-Express said that the company was planning to promote Liu as head of the warehouse keeping team, and that the company would communicate with his family to deal with the aftermath.

The Nanshan police said that Liu might have died from excessive drinking, but that they couldn’t be sure until the autopsy report was made available.
