Hongchi Xiao is accused of manslaughter by gross negligence following the death of Danielle Carr-Gomm.

An alternative healer did not take adequate action to save a dying woman, despite the "cruel lesson" of the death of a child at one of his slapping workshops, a court has been told.

The 71-year-old had Type 1 diabetes, meaning she had to take insulin every day to keep her blood glucose levels under control. Mr Atkinson told the jury Aiden and his family had attended Mr Xiao’s Paida Lajin workshops in April 2015 in Hurstville, Sydney. Despite this, Mr Xiao continued to "instruct" the mother to withhold her son's insulin, the court was told.
