Fancy Suicide Show

Orignal Article by YoYo Ko Wai-Yin


(20 Jan) ā€œFree-styled Suicide showā€ has been being performed every day in Hong Kong in the past few months. There are different inconceivable ways of suicides. The naked corpse of Chan Yin Lam, who was a good swimmer, was found floating in the sea. A man wearing in black jumped into the sea, with his mouth sealed by tape and legs tied with weights. Chow Tse-Lok was dead due to head injuries and pelvic fracture after a fall from the third floor towards the second floor of car garage. A middle-aged woman in Kwai Chung stripped naked and committed suicide on the coldest day.

These cases of suicide not only were illogic, but also happened frequently. These suicides seem to challenge the limit of committing suicide. Each case of suicide is stranger than the previous one. There are various methodologies. A female train captain of MTR drove the train under bridge, left the cabin suddenly, and then jumped off from the bridge. A decorator could enter a highly fortified duty officer quarters with a great view of secrecy, and passed through an extremely cramped fanlight like a contortionist of national calibre in China. Then, he crooked his body and jumped down. It just liked a performance of acrobatics. News said that a British couple supporting the anti-ELAB movement came far away from the United Kingdom to Hong Kong for suicide, but did not join any protest with Hong Kongers together. They changed into swimsuits before jumping out from the hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui, and wrote English and Chinese bilingual testaments, ā€œLetā€™s meet under the Pot.ā€

Police disclosed limited information about the two deceased, 67-year-old man and 61-year-old woman. However, the photo on the internet showed that the deceased female wore cherry red bikini and had a white-skinned, muscular and cleaned-body. She didnā€™t look like someone who just jumped off a building, but more like just fished out from the sea. Furthermore, she didnā€™t look like an old woman. The most doubtful is why she wore swimsuit while she committed suicide. Why were all clothes not messy, but ironed well? The deceased femaleā€™s broken ankle had clean incision without any bloodstain. It should have left a large puddle of blood splattered all over the place under normal circumstance, had she really jumped from the top of a building. Two British tourists died for nothing. Will the British Consulate get involved?
