Hong Kong Police say they are still investigating the cause of death of a Filipina domestic helper who was found to have drowned off Golden Beach in Tuen Mun early on Friday.
However, earlier reports said the 42-year-old
Filipina appeared to have taken her own life due to financial problems.

The police said they were called to the scene by
passersby who reported seeing someone fall into the sea late on Thursday, July
27.
Police officers, firefighters as well as the
Government Flying Service were all called to help in the search operations.
They later found the victim, a 42-year-old Filipina domestic helper, floating
at sea shortly after midnight on Friday.

Photos taken from the scene showed officers trying
to revive the helper, before she was sent to Tuen Mun Hospital in a comatose
state. She was declared dead at the hospital.
Police said no suicide note was found on site. An
autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death.

BASAHIN DITO |
A check with the profile of three Filipinas reported
missing within days of each other in the past fortnight did not match the brief
description given by the police of the victim.
The death came just 13 days after police reported that a body found wedged on the side of Tsing Yi pier belonged to a Filipina DH who was reported missing five days earlier. Subsequent reports said the deceased also had financial issues.
