Summary
A 25-year-old Hong Kong man, identified by police as Leung Tsun Hin, was found dead inside an apartment on Frederick Road in Salford, Greater Manchester, on August 19. After Salford Police said they had been unable to contact his next of kin, Hong Kong's Immigration Department confirmed it had received a request for assistance from his family and was providing help according to their wishes
Key Points
- Police identified the deceased as Leung Tsun Hin, a 25-year-old Hong Kong man found at his home on Frederick Road in Salford
- The body was discovered on August 19, and police later said the death was not being treated as suspicious after an initial investigation
- In a social media post on August 20, Salford Police appealed for information because officers had been unable to contact his next of kin
- The police appeal was widely shared among Hong Kong communities in Manchester, where local groups urged anyone who knew Leung or his family to contact officers
- Online reports said Leung may have studied at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and gone to Britain as an overseas student, but those details were not independently verified
Why It Matters
The case has drawn attention in Hong Kong because the family has sought official help and the Immigration Department is now involved in providing assistance. It also shows how overseas incidents involving Hong Kong residents can quickly mobilize diaspora networks when police need help reaching relatives
