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.

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.
