THE army has launched an investigation into the apparent suicide of a retired officer whose body was found hanging in the Prince of Wales Barracks in Central.
It is understood that the man - a retired colonel - killed himself on Friday because of worsening family problems.
He had recently arrived in Hong Kong and had few close friends in the territory.
A Joint Services spokesman confirmed that a body had been found at the Prince of Wales Barracks.
''We do not consider that there were any suspicious circumstances.
''The matter is currently under military investigation,'' he said.
