{L_QUOTE}:
Body found off Yuen Shue Wan pier
02-04-2011

The body of a woman, aged about 30, has been found off the Yuen Shue Wan pier in Lamma Island. She was taken ashore and rushed to hospital but was confirmed dead. It's not known whether she's a resident of the island or what had happened to her. Police said investigations are underway,


Rumour is she was Filipina.

Any eyewitnesses?

The SCMP just called me, fishing for more info. But I haven't heard anything reliable yet myself.

Well, the rumours will surely be flying at the Dragonboating party tonight in the Island Bar... and tomorrow at the Pinoy Basketball League, IF that Filipina rumour is true at all...

Was this real? I have asked quite a few Filipinas I know and none of them had heard of it. Any other information? I haven't seen anything in SCMP.

Quite real, it was on RTHK radio and their website as linked above.

Now I'm told that she was a Taiwanese tourist.

Anyway, not a Lamma local.

news on apple of yesterday

南丫島「環保碼頭」前日發現的女浮屍案,水警總警區重案組初步調查後,相信案中台灣女遊客為了到海邊捉蟹送給女兒,其間卻失足墮海失救喪命,暫無可疑,其台灣家人預計今日抵港,認領回女死者遺下的 10歲大女兒和辦理認屍手續。

頭撞岩石暈倒失救
為了兌現女兒的一個貼心承諾,不幸客死異鄉的台灣好媽媽姓林( 30歲),據悉,林婦過往曾數次來港旅遊,數日前她再偕 10歲女兒重遊舊地,並租住於南丫島一間度假屋。消息稱,水警總警區重案組在接辦該宗女浮屍案後,曾在現場一帶進行問卷調查,先查悉林婦偕女兒租住附近度假屋,後從其女兒口供獲知上周五晚,林婦臨睡前,曾承諾翌日一早到海邊捉蟹送給女兒。警方推測翌晨林婦趁女兒未醒來,獨自到島上附近海邊捉蟹,其間懷疑失足墮海,頭部撞及岩石暈倒失救,直至早上 7時許被居民發現浮屍大海,釀成悲劇。水警總警區重案組探員事後已聯絡女死者台灣家人通知死訊,家人預計今日抵港善後,先認領回死者女兒,並會獲得安排到殮房辦理認屍手續,由於女死者被發現時,頭部太陽穴和臉部有明顯傷痕,故要剖屍確定真正死因。

Yes. Sorry these aren't very useful in the English Discussion forum. If they are going to be posted here, I think they should be translated.

I Like Turtles - I presumed all deaths by misadventure would be. Brief sections in SCMP rarely miss a suicide or road accident fatality.
