Man found dead at Tai Wai primary school in suspected fatal fall

A man in his 30s was found dead on the grounds of a primary school in Tai Wai early Friday morning after apparently falling from a height.

Police and paramedics rushed to the campus located at 38 Chik Fuk Street following a report shortly before 8am. 

Upon arrival, responders discovered the man lying unconscious on the ground and pronounced him dead at the scene. 

Authorities covered the body with a tent as they conducted their preliminary investigation, noting a pair of plastic sandals left nearby.

Initial findings indicate that the deceased was a resident of Kowloon and was not employed by the school. 

Investigators are currently working to determine when and how the man gained unauthorized access to the campus. 

The primary school had scheduled activities today that require a number of students to return to campus, and have proceeded without disruption despite the ongoing police presence and investigation.
