A suicide case occurred in Pat Heung.
At about 2 a.m., the authorities received a report that a man was unconscious in a private car parked on an unnamed road near Nanqing East Road on Kam Sheung Road.
Rescuers rushed to the scene after receiving the report and rescued the unconscious driver, but he was confirmed dead.
Firefighters and ambulance crews found a basin of charcoal in the car and handed over the case to the police for follow-up.
The police conducted a preliminary search and found a suicide note on the car. They believed that the case was a suicide. Later, they notified the staff of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department to arrive at the scene and send the body of the deceased to the mortuary.
The male victim is about 40 years old.
It is reported that the male victim is married.
The scene of the incident was at the entrance of Daling Village, Upper Village, Pat Township, opposite to the former residence where the male victim lived with his ex-girlfriend.
However, his ex-girlfriend committed suicide a few months ago, and the male victim is suspected to be depressed because of this.
Before the incident, the wife had not been able to contact her husband for a long time, so she sought help from her husband's friends, and finally found her husband's private car at the address. Unfortunately, he was unconscious and unable to recover.
Police are investigating the incident.
