Promising writer Lin Yi-han (林奕含), who published a bestselling novel this year about a girl raped by her teacher, died at the age of 26, allegedly by her own hand, authorities said Friday. The police said a suicide note was found at the scene and initial investigations have ruled out the possibility of foul play. The novel, published in February, is about a young girl named Fang Ssu-chi who was raped by her teacher. "She wrote the book because she hoped there will never be another Fang Ssu-chi in society," the statement said. In the author's biography section of the novel, Lin introduced herself as someone with not much professional or academic experience.
