Officers received a report at about 10pm on Thursday saying a man was found lying unconscious outside the entrance of block seven at Po Tin Estate. The man, 33, was then rushed to Tuen Mun Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

"A post-mortem examination will be conducted later to ascertain the cause of death." Police also said that a 44-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of "misleading police officers during their investigation". Officers from the Tuen Mun district crime squad are investigating the incident, the force added.
