Missing IVE student sparks social media, citywide search
Tsoi Kin-hau, 19, was reported missing after he disappeared on Friday, from his home in Lam Tin’s Tak Tin Estate.
The citywide hunt for a missing 19-year-old continued on Tuesday as classmates and family members turned to social media to expand their search.
He left behind a suicide note saying he was suffering from academic pressures.

Friends of Tsoi took the search onto the internet with a forum thread, which was circulated more than 500 times in the first hour. News of Tsoi's dissappearance was also posted on Facebook.
Police said they had searched Lion Rock Country Park, Lam Tin Park, Sam Ka Tsuen and the Tseung Kwan O Chinese Permanent Cemetery.
