Ou Yang Li-hsing, Vice President of the Chung-Shan National Institute of Science and Technology, died in Pingtung county in the southern part of the island where he was on a business trip, Taiwan’s CNA news agency reported.
Security services reported that the cause of Ou Yang’s death is being investigated.
It was stated that the company official assumed the position of vice president at the beginning of this year and was responsible for many missile projects.
