A Hong Kong mother and son who went missing during a cruise last week left a suicide note leaving their fortune to Chief Executive Donald Tsang Yam-kuen.
The mother, in her 50s, and her son, in his 20s - whose identities have not been released - joined an eight-day cruise through Hong Thai Travel Services. A police spokesman last night said a report was received of a woman, 46, surnamed Chan and a man, 21, surnamed Ng, who had had gone missing.
'Costa Crociere confirms that two passengers embarked on board Costa Classica have been declared missing,' the cruise company said yesterday.
Costa Classica is cruising China, Korea and Japan.
Hong Thai deputy general manager Daniel Chan Kin-pang said the pair joined the cruise in Tianjin with about 30 others on July 5. They did not join a sightseeing trip in Cheju the next day nor one in Fukuoka, prompting the tour guide to ask staff to check their room.
A suicide note was found with their belongings.
