Even cats and dogs shouldn&#8217;t be treated so heartlessly.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But others linked the incident to an earlier case in which a man who tried to help an elderly woman after she fell over was prosecuted, apparently because his intervention broke government rules on dealing with accident victims.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Doctors said Yue Yue was in a coma and unlikely to survive the ordeal.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She would not be able to survive any operations. She&#8217;s very close to brain death,&#8221; a spokesman for the hospital treating her.<\/p>\n<p>Police have detained the drivers of both vehicles involved in the incident, Xinhua said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>News website Shanghaiist said doctors at General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Command confirmed she had died from &#8220;severe brain
