Contesto

The body of a 32-year-old man was recovered from the waters off Tsing Yi Northeast Park on Monday morning, with police confirming the deceased had a record of mental illness. Authorities were alerted at 6:37 a.m. after the man was spotted floating two to three meters offshore along Tam Kon Shan Road.

The coroner's findings will be crucial, but they may not fully explain the circumstances that precipitated the event. This case serves as a somber reminder of the silent...
