Amazing, a person who's 107 years old ends up committing suicide, that's a truly newsworthy event.
| Hong Kong - A 107-year old woman suffering from flu committed suicide by hanging herself using the cord from a pair of trousers from the top of a bunk bed, a media report said Friday. The woman, Leung Hau, was found in the family's flat by her 87-year old son, who untied his mother before raising the alarm, the South China Morning Post said. |
| Ambulance personnel confirmed Leung was dead at the flat in the working class Yau Ma Tei district of Kowloon. |
| She had told her son and his wife that she wanted to die because she did not want to be a burden, but they had not taken her seriously. |
| Iman Fok from the Society for Community Organisations said Leung's suicide was "bizarre" and she may have had other problems that she had not told her family. |
