A married couple died in a fall from a building in Hong Kong on Monday.
Emergency personnel were called shortly before 1pm when the two victims were found on the ground outside Sea View Mansion on Connaught Road West in Sai Ying Pun.
The pair were certified dead by paramedics at the scene.
They were a 73-year-old man and his 50-year-old wife, both Hongkongers. The couple lived in Sea View Mansion.

A police source said the couple had jumped from the roof of the building and a suicide note was found at the scene.
He said the note indicated the pair ended their lives because of health problems.
According to another source, the 73-year-old man suffered from chronic illnesses and his wife was a cancer patient.
“An initial investigation showed the couple jumped at almost the same time,” he said.
Officers from the Western police station were handling the case.
