Two men drowned in separate incidents while engaging in water sports in Hong Kong’s Sai Kung on Sunday.
In the first incident, a 67-year-old man was part of a group of 28 people who took a boat trip from Pak Sha Wan.
He was reported missing while swimming around the boat at a spot 250 metres (820 feet) off Tai Long Sai Wan and was later found unconscious on a nearby rocky beach.
He was airlifted to Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital in Chai Wan by helicopter. Emergency services tried to resuscitate the man on the way but he was pronounced dead at the hospital.
