A Chinese acrobat has died after falling to her death during a performance.

The woman fell during a flying-trapeze performance, on to a hard stage, after a routine went wrong.

Her acrobatic partner, who is also her husband, failed to catch her with his legs.

She was taken to hospital, but died from her injuries.

The paper reported that she leaves behind two children.

The couple had worked together for many years and had often performed without safety belts “for the sake of looking good”.

An investigation is now under way.
