2 men found dead in Hong Kong village around same time as suspected suicide

An elderly man and his son were found dead in a Hong Kong village house on Tuesday evening, with police investigating whether the case in Yuen Long was linked to a suspected suicide in the district around the same time.

Police said they received a report that two men had been found unconscious in a ground-floor flat in Chun Hing San Tsuen, off Wang Tat Road, at about 8pm.

Officers arrived at the scene and discovered the pair, aged 93 and 69, inside. A source said they were father and son.

Paramedics who arrived at the scene later confirmed the pair were dead.

The Yuen Long district crime squad is investigating the case and the area around the house has been cordoned off.

A neighbour said the older man had lived in the flat for nearly 30 years. The premises originally housed a restaurant but it had ceased operating years ago.
