Hong Kong man found dead in Macau hotel room

A 43-year-old Hong Kong resident was found dead in a hotel room in Macau on Wednesday, and the police believed he had been deceased for some time.

An employee of a hotel in Cotai stated that the deceased had not checked out yesterday (Apr 26) even though he had overstayed his reservation and went with security to check on him last night at around 10 pm.  

As no one responded when they rang the bell, they attempted to open the door with a keycard, only to discover that the anti-theft lock had been used and that a horrible stench permeated the room.  

The security guard then used tools to pry open the room door, only to find the man lying unresponsive on the bed and immediately requested police assistance.  

The Macau police found nothing suspicious or unusual except multiple hospital prescription drugs in the deceased's backpack.  

The preliminary investigation by the police revealed that the 43-year-old deceased had been dead for some time and did not have any wounds on his body.  

The case is listed as the discovery of a body, and a forensic autopsy is still to determine the cause of death.
