The Judiciary Police (PJ) said in a statement yesterday that a Marine and Water Bureau (DSAMA) mechanic was believed to have hanged himself in a pump room at the Government Shipyard in Fai Chi Kei.
The statement said the mechanic was a 53-year-old local man surnamed Ieong.
According to the statement, Ieong was found hanging from a sprinkler system pipe by a fellow DSAMA official who was inspecting the area at around 5 p.m., so he called the police.
