A recently retired Hong Kong police sergeant died on Tuesday after he fell from his flat in Aberdeen.
At 11.20am, Fok Man-wai, 56, a former station sergeant at Ngau Tau Kok Police Station, was found by security staff on a podium in Kong Fu Court at Aberdeen Centre on Nam Ning Street. He was seriously injured.
He was later confirmed dead by ambulance crew members when they arrived at the scene.
Police believed Fok lost his balance when he was handling clothes on a rack outside the window of his home on the 22nd floor.
Fok joined the force in October 1979 and retired last month. He is survived by his wife and 27-year-old son.
A police source said he had no health or financial problems.
