An artificial lake managed by Hong Kong Disneyland will reopen on Wednesday after it was closed following the discovery of the burnt body of a 31-year-old mainland Chinese man who died in a suspected suicide.
The force also said on Tuesday, two days after the discovery, that a lighter was found near the body at the Inspiration Lake Recreation Centre at Penny’s Bay on Lantau Island.
Police said the body had “obvious burn marks”.
“Personnel have conducted in-depth investigations, reviewed CCTV footage in various areas and questioned businesses and shops. We have preliminarily identified the deceased as a 31-year-old man from the mainland,” the force said.
“Police are currently investigating the case as a suicide and are actively contacting the deceased’s relatives and friends to gather more details.”
The force said the man arrived in the city on Tuesday last week using a two-way permit, a travel document that allows mainlanders to visit the city.
