A young workers commits suicide after a fourth-generation iPhone prototype went missing. The Story from CNET Apple confirms death of iPhone worker in China | Apple - CNET News

Did anyone think to use the 'Find my iPhone' feature or I guess that doesn't apply with prototypes?

That works when the phone is activated on an account, the account is signed up for Mobile Me, Push is turned on on the phone, and the account owner signs in to Mobile Me.

It's unlikely a prototype would even be activated.

Would have been good if found that way. Poor guy.
