An approximately 80-year-old man was found dead after falling from a unit at Chun Kwai House in Kwai Chung at about 11pm to 11.32pm on August 23, 2026. Emergency personnel attended and certified him dead at the scene.
Police later entered the flat linked to the incident and found a woman, reportedly the man’s wife and aged in her 60s, lying dead in the living room. The discovery was made late that night or in the early hours of August 24.
Reports differed over the woman’s injuries. One described multiple wounds that appeared to have been caused by a sharp object, while another said she had suffered serious head injuries that may have been caused by a hard object. Her exact cause of death remains subject to forensic examination.
Police began investigating the circumstances of both deaths, with the case being handled by a crime unit. The investigation is examining whether the two incidents were connected and what led to them.
One report said the case had been classified as murder and suicide, and suggested that the man may have injured his wife before falling from the building. That reported sequence and the connection between the deaths had not been confirmed in the supplied police information.
The investigation was continuing on August 24. The woman’s forensic examination and further police inquiries are expected to help establish how she died and whether the two deaths were linked.
