Construction worker, aged 40, was confirmed dead at Tuen Mun Hospital after reporting feeling unwell at work site in Castle Peak
Hong Kong police are investigating the death of a 40-year-old construction worker who was rushed to hospital on Friday after complaining of feeling unwell at his work site.
A source said on Saturday that a colleague of the man had contacted the force at about 5.40pm the day before.
The colleague told officers that the man, a Hong Kong resident of Thai ethnicity, had been working at the construction site on Castle Peak’s Fraser Road in the New Territories before he reported feeling unwell.
He was then taken to Tuen Mun Hospital for treatment, but was confirmed dead later that evening.
The source said the man’s cause of death had yet to be determined, and that the police’s investigation was ongoing.
