An 86‑year‑old woman died on Monday morning after falling from her flat while cleaning a window at a residential estate in Discovery Bay, an upscale seaside community in Hong Kong.
Police said they received a report at around 10am from security staff at Greendale Court in Greenvale Village who discovered the woman lying unconscious outside the building.
Paramedics arrived shortly after and pronounced her dead at the scene.
A police investigation suggested the woman might have lost her footing and fallen while cleaning a window inside her flat.
Officers did not find any suicide note, and the cause of death will be determined after an autopsy.
