Investigation underway after elderly man found dead in Sham Shui Po

Police have launched an investigation into the death of a 65-year-old man, who was discovered collapsed on the streets of Sham Shui Po and later pronounced dead early Saturday morning.

Shortly before 1am today, a passerby reported finding an elderly man, later identified as Lee, unconscious outside a shop on Pei Ho Street in Sham Shui Po.

Upon arrival, rescue workers quickly transported Lee to the hospital, where he was confirmed dead.

An examination of his body revealed livor mortis and rigor mortis, bruises on his left arm, a suspected injection mark on the back of his left hand, and signs of recent CPR on his chest.

Lee, who had been working as a cleaner, lived alone in a nearby apartment on Lai Chi Kok Road for the past four years. He was reportedly behind on rent for the last two months.

The initial police investigation suggests that  Lee was moved from his residence to the location where he was found, approximately 250 meters away, or a four-minute walk.

The Sham Shui Po police district is conducting a thorough follow-up to determine the circumstances surrounding Lee's death.
