A 29-year-old woman died on her way to hospital last night after collapsing during a visit to a Chinese medicine practitioner in Causeway Bay.
The woman visited the practitioner on Jaffe Road where she reportedly received a naprapathy massage and acupuncture treatment.
As the practitioner was pulling acupuncture needles from her feet, she reportedly had a seizure and passed out in the clinic at about 8.46pm.
The clinic called an ambulance but a police spokesman said the woman was dead on arrival at Ruttonjee Hospital in Wan Chai. There was no indication that the treatment and collapse were connected.
The practitioner, a 32-year-old man, said the woman was his friend and had consulted him previously, Chinese-language media reported.
Police were investigating at the clinic early this morning.
