So was Tang, the other migrant construction worker who followed them into the drainage pipes the second night, and a security guard involved in a rescue attempt.
A local government official, Wang, who declined to provide his full name or have his title used, said a deputy general manager of Hisun and a lower-level official in charge of the drainage system were under investigation.
Hisun itself was fined the equivalent of US$5,400, this official said. Relatives of Feng said Hisun paid them US$20,500 compensation.
The local official said Bai Hua, Hisun's chief executive, was also assessed a personal fine. But neither Bai nor his company has said anything publicly about the case.
Bai this week headed his company's delegation to a major pharmaceutical convention in Frankfurt, where it promoted its line of drugs to fight heart disease, certified safe by the European Union.
