The site is a flat on the tenth floor at Po Kan House, Po Lam Estate at Tseung Kwan O. The owner is a 63 year old man living with a 59 year old wife and a daughter for many years. The daughter has moved out recently leaving her parents in the flat.

During the investigation, a pile of wet clothes, hanger and a stool was found in the kitchen. The window was open. In the early stages, police have not denied the possibility of the woman to have fallen due to loss of support. The body was sent for investigation. From the site, a clothing rack is installed outside the kitchen window in Po Lam Estate for residents to hang their clothes. The flat of the accident did not have a metal clothing rack installed but only have a string operated clothing rack.
