Apparent suicide at Wo Mei

Police received a report on the weekend from a 39-year-old woman that her 77-year-old father was found hanging from a cross-beam outside their home in Wo Mei village.  The woman let her father down and called the police.  Police arrived at the scene and ambulance men took the unconscious man to hospital but he was later certified dead.

The police did not find a suicide note  and initial investigation suggests that the incident is not suspicious.   Cause of death will be confirmed after autopsy. It is reported that the deceased had a record of physical illness.
