Episode Details

A controversial alternative healer, Hongchi Xiao, convicted of manslaughter for the 2016 death of 71-year-old Danielle Carr-Gomm during one of his self-slapping detox workshops, has reportedly been released early from prison—possibly through a facilitated return from Australia. Carr-Gomm, a type 1 diabetic, stopped her insulin after being persuaded by Xiao’s teachings, leading to her death. Xiao, extradited from Australia for trial, faced a dismissed appeal, with judges noting participant waivers held no legal weight. His methods have previously caused tragedy, including the death of a six-year-old boy in Australia. As the UK pauses early prisoner releases, authorities are now investigating how Xiao, now 63, left custody in the U.S.
