Teenagers find body on Lamma

Two teenagers exploring Lamma Island's caves on their summer holidays got the fright of their lives when they stumbled across a body.

Fifteen-year-olds Liem Le and Nitay Lilley found the body of an elderly man wedged in the rocky sea cliff of remote Tung O Wan late on Sunday afternoon.

Police said the unidentified man was aged 60 to 65.

Liem said they saw the mangled carcass of a pink dolphin near a cave shortly before finding the body.

'We found something bigger and when we realised it was human we freaked out and ran back to call police,' he said, adding the man might have been caught by the rising tide.

'We were shaken up a lot.' Police were called to the scene on Sunday, but could not remove the body. It was retrieved yesterday.
