An alternative healer has been jailed for 10 years after a court found him guilty of gross negligence manslaughter.

Hongchi Xiao, 61, of Cloudbreak in California, was convicted after Danielle Carr-Gomm, 71, died from complications related to diabetes in 2016.

She stopped taking her insulin during a slapping Wiltshire workshop hosted by Xiao in 2016. Ms Carr-Gomm quickly became unwell before falling into a diabetic coma.

Mr Justice Robert Bright said: “She was youthful and vigorous with a lot of life left to live. Her untimely death was a tragedy.”

Xiao will also have to serve five years on extended licence.

He added Xiao will be liable to be deported to America after serving his sentence.
