SGT 11678 (VTM) of PSU 2 KWCDIV reported on 'B' shift duty (1445hrs -2330hrs)
on 2002-07-22. At around 1515 hrs on the same day, SSGT LEUNG Wai-yee, the
immediate supervisor of the Vtm, received a phone call from the VTM who
disclosed to SSGT LEUNG that he had health problem and would like to die.
Whilst SSGT LEUNG was trying to comfort Vtm, a BANG sound was heard. SSGT LEUNG
together with PC 1699 immediately ran up to the male toilet at 5/F, Kwai Chung
Police Station, where the Vtm was found lying in a pool of blood inside one of
the two cubicles. Vtm's duty revolver placing next to him was recovered and he
was found suffering from gun shot wound on his head (from right temple to left
temple). Vtm was sent to PMH where he was certified DBA by the duty M.O., Dr.
LEE Chi-wai, at 1558hrs. Preliminary enquiry believed that
SGT 11678 who was neither a HIO nor OUD committed the acts due to health
problem. A will note was found at scene which stated that the deceased was
suffering from rotator cuss syndrome and diabetics. Therefore, he wished to
die. Enq. is ongoing by DCS 1 KWTDIST.
