RADIO 3 presenter Harvey Crump was questioned by police yesterday in connection with the death of a 23-year-old British woman, who he found unconscious in his bed at his Kowloon apartment.
Crump, 38, who hosts a weekday mid-morning music and chat show on RTHK, was not arrested. Police have classified the death as a 'person collapsed' and are not treating it as suspicious.
The woman, Lisa Jane O'Riordan, was rushed from his flat in Cherry Mansions, Whampoa Garden, to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in critical condition and was certified dead at 11.22 am. Police last night said Crump was not under investigation. A spokesman added the two were 'friends'.
A police spokesman said Crump told detectives at Hung Hom station yesterday afternoon he had a drink with O'Riordan at about 1.30 am and then left her and returned to his second-floor flat.
'The man said she rang him several hours later and asked if she could go to his home and stay,' the spokesman said. 'The man opened the lock on his main door and went back to sleep.
'He said he did not hear the woman come in, but awoke at 10.20 am to find her lying unconscious in the bed beside him.
