Julia Ou, aged 52, a second secretary at the Taiwanese Embassy, has been found dead in her apartment in the Gazcue area of Santo Domingo.

A member of the Tzu Chi Foundation, one of Taiwan's biggest charities, Ou was described by her colleagues as a philanthropist who often helped the needy.

Dominican Foreign Minister Carlos Morales Troncoso called Ambassador Tomas Ping-fu Hou to express his concern and requested the help of the country's police in investigating Ou's death.

Apparently Ou had worked overtime and was in her office until 10 pm the night before she was found dead.

The investigation is being led by the head of the Criminal Investigation Unit, Hector Garcia Cuevas who visited the scene together with the deputy director Luis Perez Sanchez.

In the wake of the tragedy, Taiwan's overseas missions in Latin America have been warned to pay greater attention to the safety of their staff.

In response, Prosecutor General Radhames Jimenez Pena appointed a commission head by Juan Amado Cedano Santana, lead investigator; prosecutor of the Court of Appeals of the National District, Jose Sepulveda; National District prosecutor Yeni Berenice Reynoso, and the head of the Central Department for Criminal Investigations, General Hector Garcia Cuevas to investigate the crime.
