Last update date: 2020-05-16 07:07At about 11 pm on Friday (15th), the police received a report alleging that a man was hanging from the stern of a yacht in the boat parking area of Kwun Tong Pier. Rescuers arrived to release the victim and immediately sent him to United Hospital. He was in a coma at that time. Rescuers used an automatic external defibrillator to give him first aid, but after arriving at the hospital, he died.
According to the news, the victim is 36 years old and of Filipino origin. The yacht belonged to his owner. The victim was recently troubled by emotional problems. When the incident happened, he revealed to his girlfriend that he was dead, and the other party felt bad, and notified friends near the site to check, but it was too late. Afterwards, two female relatives and friends arrived and wept. The police did not seize the suicide note and believed it was not suspicious. The case was classified as "suicide". A post-mortem will be conducted later to determine the cause of death.
