A Foxconn worker has committed suicide at Foxconn 's China manufacturing complex.

Foxconn said the 23-year-old male employee was found dead early on Friday outside a China manufacturing complex 's dormitory.

"The police are carrying out an investigation into this matter and Foxconn is cooperating fully with that process," it said in a statement. "We have expressed our condolences to the family of the deceased employee."

Labour rights groups say there have been at least 13 suicides at Foxconn's factories across China this year, not including Friday's death. China's official Xinhua news agency had reported earlier that the employee had fallen to his death.

Many of those were young migrant workers, among the millions who leave China's poor hinterlands for the booming factory towns of coastal areas in search of work and higher wages.
