Police received a call early on Thursday from a maid who said her British employer had hung himself in a flat in Sheung Wan on Hong Kong Island.
The 31-year-old domestic worker rang police at 6am to say she found her employer, named Gordon, had hung himself with a rope on the balcony of a flat at Kian Nan Mansion on Bonham Strand West in Sheung Wan, Oriental Daily reported.
Firemen arrived and tried to save the man but he was unconscious. He was taken to Queen Mary Hospital but later certified as dead.
An initial investigation by police found that the man was depressed due to his mother being ill recently. They did not rule out this being a cause of him committing suicide, Apple Daily reported.
The reports did not mention a suicide note being found in the flat.
The Samaritans run a 24-hour multilingual suicide prevention hotline on +852 2896 0000 or emails can be sent to jo@samaritans.org.hk.

I’ve tried to commit suicide when i was just 19 years old, the first time i cut my wrist it was not pain at all but i can see the blood comes out from wrists… its really the devil gave me the anesthesia so i can’t feel the pain by cutting my own wrist,, but God still loves me because before i faint my little sister push the door and go inside the room, and i need to cover the blood and my wrist, so i had tied up my wrist with cloth and stop the bleeding.. and it was then that i realized that life is not that easy to take by ourselves, there’s a lot of reason to live.. there’s a lot of reason why we need to face challenges in life.. LIFE IS A GIFT.. AND LIFE IS PRECIOUS.. NOBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO END LIFE BUT GOD.. REST IN PEACE SIR..
madami mgaganda na advice pero reality check kahit ani advice pa mga yan once it struck a person wala din.. ung mga nakaranas or naexperience lang makakaintindi…
Mia S Le yes that is true…we are all tourist here on earth..no one will stay longer here….problem is like a crumpled thread..the more you want to solve it, the it more difficult to solve..just take it easy..leave to God everything….enjoy life..
Life is precious and too short. If you feeling down take a deep breath and stay calm. Don’t harm your self embrace the consequences of life. LIFE is good and LiFE is just once. LIFE is LOVE. God bless everyone…!

True.
Ding Ding likas sating mga pinoy ang pagiging palaban. Wag kang bibigay. Minsan lang tayo mabuhay wag mong sayangin un. Lahat tayo may pinagdadaanan ung iba mas mabigat pa sayo. Go lang ng go!
its not luck of encouragement,its far away from GOD. Because when we are with God,whatever problems wefacing in live,God will give us strength to overcome our problem .
Come to God when you’re hopeless coz He will give you HOPE.
Luck of fate n God! Voice out all D problems that occur..life is precious, anyway condolence
Ding Ding,
I also tried to commit suicide 2x because of many problem.
But I realized this problem just only a test in our life.
Every human have a purposed in world not only to enjoyed what we want.
If you think suicide is the solution! Its a Big NO! Why in the other life after death more hardship you have, and you go straight to the hell fire. God give this life and only God have right to tell us when is the right time our life end.
Just only adviced for you.
Search your happiness and leave your problem and Pray to God to guide you in the right way.
May God help you all your trials.
Sometimes I want to give up in life because of many problems, as a bread winner in my family , I just can’t stand the hardship sometimes… But with the power of prayer, I can stand alone ND face the challenges in life… Just think, there’s no trials that we can’t pass … Life must go on no matter what may hannganan din Ang lahat just faith God!
Ding Ding Life is precious kabayan, kung mahal mo ang sarili mo pahalagahan mo. Bawat problema my solusyon. I’ve encounterd a lot and lots of problems BUT hindi ko inisip na magpakamatay bagkus, nananalangin ako sa PANGINOON at nag tiwala sa kanya na di nya ako iiwan at di pababayaan. GOD BLESS U kabayan…Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Lord comfort people who need you . Thank you Lord. Rest in peace.
Suicide is not the solution of all problems..
Lord have mercy to those people doesn’t know You ???????? Let delivered us with Your love and Grace sa mga taong hindi nagtitiwala sa iyo.
