Last year, the Qingdao Qiushi Vocational School was rocked by the deaths of another student and a teacher at the campus.
The woman who died last month, Liu Xiao'ao, and five other female students were invited out on October 27, the school's 20th anniversary, according to a man surnamed Kong, the woman's uncle.
Police told Liu's parents that the woman "accidentally'' fell from a window in the restaurant bathroom at 10:34pm, her family said. Police said they have ruled out murder but have not released a cause for the death.
Liu's family has doubts about the investigation. "I've sent my daughter to the school to study, not let the teachers take her out late at night to have dinner and drink beers," Liu's father told China Business Herald.
Kong said Liu and the other students were invited because the teachers wanted to discuss the school's anniversary celebration.
Police told him that the students and teachers had consumed a total of 40 bottles of beer. Police said she had alcohol in her body but they did not say how much.
"What are the teachers attempting on the girls by sharing so many bottles of beer with them?" asked the father.
