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.

Correct him in a good way… maybe he cannot spell the word “refugee” correctly! Nobody is perfect, right? Just saying✌️
Keen Nha Yow well said????
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..
Leave her alone,mind your own business.
I think she mixed the word rape and refugee, because the article is also about molestation.
wow..what a clean man u r mr.steve..

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.
