Tung Lung Chau
Yesterday afternoon (1/2) a 71-year-old man and his 22-year-old step-daughter were hiking on Tung Lung Chau, Sai Kung. While taking photos the woman fell into the sea. The father jumped in to save his daughter, but both got into trouble in the cold water.
Fortunately, passers-by saw them floating 30 to 40 metres offshore, and they called the police immediately. The father was unconscious when he was rescued, while the daughter was still conscious with bruises on her hands and feet. They were taken to the Sai Wan Ho Marine Police Base by the Marine Police, and then to the Eastern District Hospital by ambulance. The father received first aid in the ambulance, but unfortunately he was declared dead on arrival. The cause of his death will be determined by autopsy. The police are investigating the incident.
