China’s ambassador to Israel was found dead Sunday morning in his home north of Tel Aviv — just three months into the job, officials said.
The 58-year-old ambassador, Du Wei, was discovered unconscious inside his official residence in Herzliya, according to Israel’s Foreign Ministry.
No cause of death was provided, but the case was not being treated as suspicious, according to CNN.
“As part of the regular procedure, police units are at the scene,” a police spokesman told Reuters.
Du was appointed in February to the role as coronavirus was spreading across the globe. He previously served as China’s envoy to Ukraine.
His death comes after he accused other countries last month of trying to make China the scapegoat of the coronavirus pandemic, BBC reported.
“That is despicable and should be condemned,” Du said. “The disease is an enemy of the entire humankind and the world should fight it together.”
