Another Corpse Found Floating in Reservoir, Police: Nothing Suspicious

At 11am on Dec 30, a staff from Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department discovered a corpse wearing black, floating near the main dam of Shing Mun Reservoir, 2 to 3 metres from the shoreline.

A police report was made. Divers were then sent to retrieve the corpse from the water. Upon inspection, it was verified that he was already dead.

The deceased was identified by the police as a 29-year-old male, by the name of Poon. His family filed a police report on December 26, after he went missing in Shatin District. The police said that no suicide note was found at the scene, but there was nothing suspicious. The cause of death will be determined by autopsy.

At the same time, fences have also been erected on the footbridge connecting the Police Headquarters to the Academy of Performing Arts. One can see the Police Headquarters through the fence with a view that carries an uncanny resemblance to that of looking out of a prison.
