At 7 pm, the woman named Lin reported that her husband went to swim in Waterfall Bay off Aberdeen Wah Fu Village, but had not returned home for a long time, fearing he would be drowned. Police came to the scene to investigate and found clothing and slippers on the shore. Lin woman confirmed to be 88-year-old surnamed Liang husband. Fire frogmen, marine police and government flight service helicopters are searching in the vicinity.

Mr. Feng of the neighborhood is more familiar with the male client, and he is also a swimmer in Waterfall Bay. Feng said that the neighborhood called the male hero Uncle, referring to his physical fitness, every day from about 2:30 pm to about 3 pm, he will swim in Waterfall Bay, about 25 minutes when the summer is warm, and about 10 minutes in the winter.

Feng said that there are not many swimmers in Waterfall Bay. Due to the turbulent water flow before and after the wind, the east and west flow directions are often reversed. It is suspected that the uncle is old and coupled with the unfamiliar flow change. About 100 meters from the side, he was unable to swim back to the shore on his own due to lack of physical strength. Fortunately, they were rescued by the neighborhood and dragged him back with blisters. "The channel is too old." The neighborhood is very concerned about Uncle Ying. He persuaded him not to swim anymore to avoid accidents. It is expected that there will be an accident for the fourth time today. "Oh! It is estimated that there will be three rescues. It is missing today, Yin Gong!"

Feng pointed out that Uncle Ying was more reticent and would only say hello to a few more familiar neighborhoods and rarely chat with people. See you on the 2nd, Uncle Ying fell into the water for only 2 minutes, and returned to shore immediately after a free 10 meters. The neighbourhood cared about the condolences and left without telling the reason.
