Hong Kong police are investigating a suspected murder-suicide after an elderly man and his wife were found dead at two nearby buildings in Tsing Yi.
The force said the man, 82, was found injured near a multi-storey car park at Cheung Hang Estate at around 2.30pm on Wednesday and was later confirmed dead at the scene.
Investigators suspected the man had fallen from the fifth floor of the building, police said.

Officers later discovered an unconscious woman, 56, who was subsequently pronounced dead, inside the flat. She was believed to have been attacked with a blunt object.
A source said the pair were a couple living together in the flat.
