Elderly employer finds Filipino domestic helper hanged at Tsim Sha Tsui home

A Filipino domestic helper was found hanging by her 90-year-old employer in Kimberley Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, yesterday morning.

The Sky Post, as translated by EJI, reports that the maid, only referred to as Brenda, hanged herself with a scarf, possibly because she had been suffering from financial distress.

Her elderly employer, who Brenda had looked after for the past 10 years, stumbled upon the scene at 7:46am.

Police say there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the maid’s death.

If you are experiencing depression or suicidal thoughts, please call the Samaritans’ 24-hour hotline on (+852) 2896-0000 for help.
