A Hong Kong couple were rushed to hospital after apparently trying to commit suicide by asphyxiation using burning charcoal in a luxury villa in Tai Po, the New Territories on Sunday.
The man, a 64-year-old retired businessman surnamed Luk was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital while his 61-year-old wife remains in critical condition, Sing Tao Daily reported.
The couple lived in a villa in Hong Lok Yuen with their domestic worker.
It is understood that the domestic worker had Sunday off, and left home as usual in the morning. When she returned that evening, she found the master room locked, with a note saying “do not enter” stuck to the door.
Concerned by this, she called Luk’s elder sister.
At 8pm, when Luk’s sister and his nephew arrived at the villa, they found the couple unconscious in the bedroom.
Paramedics rushed the man and woman to hospital, where the husband was pronounced dead on arrival. His wife was stabilized after resuscitation was performed. Her condition remains critical.
Police found burned charcoal and a suicide note in the bedroom which revealed they were facing financial difficulties. After an initial investigation, police do not suspect foul play.
The Samaritans run a 24-hour multilingual suicide prevention hotline +852 2896 0000 or emails can be sent to jo@samaritans.org.hk.

How can i report a certain maid to her employer who has been terminated 2times already now,she s been hired for just a couple of weeks and always sneek out of her emoyers house on her working hour frim tsim sha tsui to yuen long she said she can do it because her employer not home and will not know of what she is doing..
Ano naman Ang beneficia na matatamo no kung isumbong mo Ang kapwa mo OFW, sa kanyang pinagsisilbihan? Bakit Hindi mo nalang pabayaan na mismong mga amo niya Ang makatuklas. Kung may lakas ka ng loob na siya’y isumbong, mas masmabuti pa siguro kung payuhan mo siya.
luh! leave her alone oi! why would you report? thats her life her diskarte and whatsoever.its non of tour business my god sake.
Jimmy Satuito Diaz why u dont understands what he commented ?that is english,ha ha
wow..what a clean man u r mr.steve..
I think she mixed the word rape and refugee, because the article is also about molestation.
Leave her alone,mind your own business.
as a concern ofw to your fellow if.she is a filipino talk to her and tell her that what she’s doing is not good and against the law.advise her to stop before she will be caught and be troubled..if she won’t listen then stay away from her.u did your part to help her do good.let her face the consequences of her acts if she continue doing it. dont report her,never play a role on situations you dont know the real story behind.what you think may not be exactly the same on what is really going on base on what u see.enough that u will advise her then let her own acts catch her..
Keen Nha Yow well said????
Correct him in a good way… maybe he cannot spell the word “refugee” correctly! Nobody is perfect, right? Just saying

Yan ang hirap sa taong walang Dios walang walang option o tinatakbuhan wala clang ibang option kundi suicide mostly Chinese people who doesn’t know how to face their problem. Life is a gift from agod every trials their is a solutions kumapit lang tau sa Dios at tayoy tutulungan. Huwag ung suicide agad ang option natin…maslalo molang inilagay ang kaluluwa mo sa paghigirap na walang hanggang.
Ms.Maii Lorejo, Pakialam mo ba if anuman gawin nya. Inggit ka Lang cguro kc sya Malaya at baka ikaw miserable.
He made up his own word.
Hai naku miss..di u alam kung ano sitwasyon o stress nian n pnagdadaanan,wag kana mkisawsaw pakialamera mxado eh.gawin mo nlng paunlarin mo sarili mo n maging bida s mga amo mo,juicemiyo
Junroger Quinones he wrote that on purpose
May crab mentality ka rin ano, ang ang laki inggit mo sa kanya , pakialaman mo ang sarili mo at huag ang ibang tao,
Masyado lang pabida!!!
Some comments doesn’t seem to be related to the news about the employer committed suicide. Well regarding the domestic going out during her duty that is her problem mind your own business. Hindi naman ikaw ang malagay sa alanganin at maybe nagawa naman na nya ang trabaho nya bago sya lumabas ng bahay ng amo.
Oo tama kayong lahat inaamin ko na wala akong pkialam kung ano ginagawa ng iba eh kung sana di sya nggugulo at sa rest ng ibang kapwa din nya filipina ,
Nung naterminate sya kung kani kanino.sya lumalapit ng tulong ngayon may chance sya gnyan ginagawa nya madami stin dito totoong na stress dahil sa amo at kahit gusto ng umalis ayaw nila dahil need mgtrabaho tas yan gnyan ginagawa ok lng nman sana kung ang dahilan ng ng pagtakas nya eh gusto mkahinga ng konti sa trabaho pero hindi eh eipagmamayabang pa nya na nkakaalis dahil la mga amo nya kayang kaya nya at nanggugulo ng kapwa nya.alam ko at naintindihan ko rin sinasabi nyo kunsabagay bahala na nga lang mga amo nya kung mahuli sya.pasensya na kayo
tama ka kung di sya nang iusturbo wala akong pki kaso nanggugulo din sa amin na nagpapahinga.
Kapwa mong pinay.kausapin mo at payuhan.kung makinig sa iyo good at kung Hindi, iwasan mo narin at pamukhaan..para sa susunod Hindi na lalapit pa sa iyo.dahil pag isumbong mo siya sa amo niya at ma walan ng trabaho, kargo pa ng konsensinsiya mo.
Maii Lorejo pagsabihan mo na wag na kayong istorbuhin.my lakas loob ka ngang mgsumbong pero di mo mpagsabihan na wag kayong istorbuhin?kng concerned ka tlaga,sabihin mo na mali mga gawain nya.now,kng ayaw mkinig,problema nya na yun.hindi habang buhay mapagtatakpan mga kalukuhang gnagawa natin.at hindi rin solution ang sumbong.you both should sit down and talk.stabbing behind somebody’s back will only upset both parties.
Arsenia Calma ，tama po kayo sa sinabi nyo nakakalungkot lang din po kasi na may mga gnyan,daming kapwa pinay dito tinitiis mga amo nila para di materminate sya 2times na na terminated ngkaroon pa din ng chance na mkahanap.ng good employer tapos yan inaabuso porjet di nkikita ng mga amo nya ,kung kayo pa may chance na gnyan di ba po dapat pagbutihan mo na yong ginagawa mo para masabi din ng mga tumulong sayo na worth ang tulong nila ,siguro po nairita at nadismaya lang po talaga ako sa nakita at nalaman ko kasi maraming kababayan natin ang deserving makahanap ng mabait at mabuting amo..
alam mo naintindihan ko ang point mo pero kung sayo lumapit ng tulong yan nung mga time na nawalan ng trabaho tas ngayon may chance sya mgkaroon ng good employer ,ang hirap sa ibang tao mga abosado 2x ka na nga naterminate dahil sabi pangit ugali ng mga amo eh sa ginagawa nya ngayon di ba nakapagtataka kung bkit naterminate sya,at lalo pa kung tatakas ka lng para maglandi at mangulo ng kapwa mo sa tingin mo ba mis ok lng yan,di na tuloy nakapagtataka na sabihin ng ibang lahi mababang moral natin dahil sa mga katulad nya,marami kababayan natin nagtitiis sa mga amo nila at deserve makahanap ng good employer,u are entitle to comments at iba iba tau ng opinyon at pananaw .
Arsenia Calma tama po
hi po ,im minding my own business po gaya ng sabi ko wala nman akong pkialam sana sa ginagawa nya pero sya din nman po nangugulo sa amin at nung nawalan po sya ng work sa amin din sya humihingi ng tulong nagmakaawa po sya ,oo inaamin ko mali ang naisip kong magsumbong di ko karapatan yon,pero kung kayo po ang nakasaksi sa amin at knya nun madidismaya din po kayo.
Ztir Dulatre Zetroc ang alam ko ang may crab mentality ay yong mga taong binibigyan na ng chance at di pa rin natututo ikaw kaya ang materminate 2x kung san san ka na nkikitulog at kung kani kanino humingi ng tulong tas payuhan ka ng tumulong sau ikaw pa may gana manggulo ,bkit yan ba ang pinunta natin dito siguro yun nga ang pinunta nya,ang dami nagrereklamo abosado ang mga amo eh yong iba natin kababayan nakahanap ng mabuting amo yan sila nman mang aabuso ,mali nga siguro na naisip ko isumbong sya
