Hong Kong Hiker Dies, Singaporean Teen Discharged After Separate Trail Emergencies
A middle-aged hiker died in Plover Cove Country Park, while a 17-year-old Singaporean girl was discharged after falling ill on Lion Rock.
A 17-year-old Singaporean girl was discharged after being flown to hospital when she fell ill during a hike, while a middle-aged man was certified dead after rescue efforts failed in a separate incident in Hong Kong.
At least two people were airlifted to hospital in the past two days after falling ill while hiking, according to the source material.
Teenager fell ill on Lion Rock
The teenager was flown to Ruttonjee Hospital in Wan Chai on Saturday morning after vomiting and experiencing chills while hiking on Lion Rock with two friends.
Lion Rock is a 495-metre peak, according to the source material.
The 17-year-old was later discharged from hospital.
Middle-aged man collapsed in separate incident
In a separate incident, a middle-aged man suddenly felt unwell and collapsed while hiking with a friend of a similar age near Ha Miu Tin, Wu Kau Tang, in Plover Cove Country Park, Tai Po.
Police provided details of that incident on Sunday.
The man was certified dead after rescue efforts failed, the source said.
The two emergencies involved hikers who fell ill on separate trails and led to contrasting outcomes: one teenager was discharged after hospitalisation, while the other hiker died.
