Yep - a man's died at his own hands - that's definitely a good opportunity to make some nonsense statement about how lame the iPhone is. Good one.

Payout given in China iPhone case (BBC article)
...
Foxconn will pay Mr Sun's family a lump sum of more than $52,000 "condolence payment". A spokesman told the BBC it was not accurate to describe the money as compensation.
As well as the one-off payment, Foxconn will also pay Mr Sun's parents about $4,400 a year for the rest of their lives.
