Skeleton of man found under Kowloon Bay flyover
Officers investigating after workers came across the remains while cutting grass on Tuesday morning
The decomposed remains of a man were found under a flyover in Kowloon Bay on Tuesday, prompting a police investigation into whether foul play was involved.
The skeleton was discovered when workers were cutting grass at the flyover outside the Telford Garden housing estate on Wai Yip Street, near its junction with Sheung Yuet Road, at about 10.15am, according to a police spokeswoman.
It was in a dark-coloured jacket, a dark polo shirt, white underwear and dark jeans when found. A hat was also discovered at the scene but no shoes were found.
Officers combed the area, but no identification documents or other personal belongings were found at the scene.
A police source said an initial investigation showed the remains were of a man who was believed to have been dead for more than a year.
