The victim, identified as Ms. Chan, was found lying on the ground by a security guard who immediately alerted the authorities. While the investigation is still ongoing, police suspect that Ms. Chan's death was caused by a fatal fall while she was hanging laundry outside her 19th-floor apartment.
Ms. Chan had lived with her 65-year-old son and his wife, who had moved in with her six years ago. The couple were not home at the time of the tragic incident.
According to her daughter-in-law, Ms. Chan had been in excellent health, with no known chronic illnesses. She was known for her active lifestyle, regularly exercising, hiking in the mornings, and maintaining a healthy diet of nourishing soups and supplements.
"Most 60 or 70-year-olds can't keep up with her pace," the daughter-in-law remarked, underscoring Ms. Chan's remarkable vitality. The family had been eagerly anticipating the celebration of her 100th birthday next week, making this loss all the more devastating.
"It's not a problem that she passed away at such an old age, but why did it have to happen this way? We are all so helpless and truly heartbroken. She should have been living in great condition, you know?" the daughter-in-law said.
The family had previously suggested installing window grilles for safety, but Ms. Chan had refused, citing the inconvenience it would cause for hanging laundry. This heartbreaking tragedy has left the family grappling with the sudden and tragic passing of their beloved matriarch.
在百歲生日前夕,一位99歲老婆婆不幸墜樓身亡
在一起令人心碎的事件中,一位99歲的老婆婆在她100歲生日前一周不幸去世。根據警方報告,事件發生在上週二下午,在筲箕灣東俊苑銀川樓。
死者被確認為陳婆婆。一名保安發現她倒臥在地上,隨即報警。雖然調查仍在進行中,但警方懷疑陳婆婆是在掛衣服時不慎從19樓墜落而死。
陳婆婆與她65歲的兒子和兒媳居住在一起,兒媳六年前搬來與她同住。事發時,這對夫婦並不在家。
根據兒媳的說法,陳婆婆身體狀況良好,沒有任何慢性疾病。她保持活躍的生活方式,經常鍛煉、早晨散步,並保持營養的湯水和保健品飲食。
"60、70歲的人大多跟不上她的步伐,"兒媳如是說,突出了陳婆婆非凡的活力。家人本打算在下週慶祝她的100歲生日,但如今卻陷入了悲痛之中。
"她雖然高齡去世,但為什麼偏偏是這種方式?我們都感到無助和悲傷欲絕。她本應該能安享晚年的,"兒媳痛心地說。
家人之前曾建議安裝窗格以確保安全,但陳婆婆拒絕了,認為會影響掛衣服的方便性。這起令人心痛的悲劇,讓這個家庭陷入了對摯愛的追思和哀悼。
