Hong Kong immigration authorities have pledged their full support to the family of a 26-year-old resident found dead in a Taipei hotel.
The Immigration Department said on Thursday it had immediately contacted the man’s family after learning of the death.
“The department has provided advice and assistance in line with the family’s wishes,” a spokesman said.
He added it would maintain close contact with the deceased’s family and continue following up on the case.
The man checked into the five-star The Okura Prestige Taipei alone last Saturday and showed no signs of distress at the time.
“Following standard operating procedures, our housekeeping staff conducted a wellness check,” a hotel spokesman told the South China Morning Post. “Upon entering the room with relevant management, they found a guest unresponsive and showing no signs of life.
“The scene is currently under investigation by authorities and further details are pending clarification.”
