(San Francisco, California) Chang was found in her car on a rural road in Santa Clara County, dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Only 36, Chang was a passionate researcher and writer who achieved international fame with her book The Rape of Nanking which documented Japanese atrocities in China during WWII. Police believe they have sufficient evidence supporting the determination of suicide.
Being a fan of her writing, I personally feel a sense of loss.
