Key Points
- Police received a report at 6:07pm on September 17 from a resident who said he had lost contact with his 53-year-old colleague, surnamed Leung, for some time.
- The case involved a flat at Tai On Building, 57-87 Shau Kei Wan Road, where officers went to check after the caller suspected Leung had collapsed at home.
- Officers found Leung lying on a bed inside the unit, with a tray of burnt charcoal nearby, and he was certified dead at the scene.
- No suicide note was found at the flat, and police said the man’s cause of death is pending a post-mortem examination.
- One report said the deceased had recently been troubled by financial problems before he went missing from contact.
Why It Matters
The case remains subject to formal death investigation procedures because no note was found and the cause of death has not yet been medically confirmed. Both reports also carried suicide prevention and mental health hotline information, underscoring the availability of crisis support for people facing emotional or financial distress.
