Ferrari sex death scandal

China's political elite has been shaken by a lurid new scandal over the death of a senior official's son who crashed his Ferrari during what appeared to be a sex session with two women.

Details of the March accident in Beijing, which also left the women injured, have stayed under wraps in China but are leaking out via media in Hong Kong. The media blackout underscores official fears that the public will be outraged by another instance of excess and recklessness among China's power elites.

Reports said Ling Gu, the son of a loyal aide to president Hu Jintao, was the person killed in the March 18 accident. The report said Ling was half-naked when the crash occurred.
