A Vietnamese man from Tin Shui Wai fell into a coma in a coma in a warehouse of a factory on Ping Ha Road on Sunday (17th) night, and died after being sent to hospital.
The rest of the workers at the scene fled the scene one after another.
Security guards arrived at the scene to find out and call the police.
When the police returned to the scene this morning (18th) to investigate, the scene was empty. The police were unable to find the person in charge and witnesses to explain the incident.
The incident happened in the warehouse of a rubber recycling plant at No. 249 Pingxia Road, Tianshui Wai. At 9 pm on Sunday (17th), the 32-year-old Vietnamese victim and other workers were at the site.
When the accident happened, there was a loud noise from the warehouse, which alerted the factory security to come to check.
Security found the victim's body inserted into a pile of glue next to a cutting machine, with a forklift near the cutting machine.
So call the police for help.
After the police and ambulance arrived, the comatose worker was taken to Tin Shui Wai Hospital for treatment, where he was later certified dead.
It is reported that the deceased possessed "street paper" and could not work in Hong Kong according to the rules.
Police classified the case as a death on hospital admission and are investigating the cause of the accident and whether the deceased was working on the premises at the time.
It is understood that a forklift hit the cutting machine at the time of the incident, and the cutting machine fell in the direction of the victim, causing the victim to fall to the ground and insert his body into the pile of rubber.
He suffered a fractured left upper arm and two wounds about 6cm and 8cm on his back, before he lost consciousness.
The rest of the workers saw this and fled the scene one after another.
Because the security guard who reported the incident did not witness the incident, only a bang was heard.
The police have not been able to find witnesses and have not yet determined the cause of the incident. In addition, other workers at the same site fled the scene after the incident. The police have not ruled out the incident or other internal circumstances and will conduct in-depth investigations.
