Missing 56-year-old Hiker at Lobster Bay Rescued but Passes Away

On June 24, 2024, a 56-year-old man named Mr. Tsang went missing while hiking at Lobster Bay in Hong Kong. According to the report, Mr. Tsang had left his residence in Tseung Kwan O the previous morning and shared his location, including the Lung Ha Wan Country Trail in Clear Water Bay, with his family through a messaging app. However, communication ceased around 7 PM, prompting his wife to report him missing.

Upon receiving the report, rescue teams quickly mobilized. A command center was established at the entrance of Clear Water Bay Country Park to coordinate the search and rescue efforts. Search teams were deployed to scour the mountains, and the Government Flying Service dispatched a helicopter to assist from the sky. Based on the information provided, Mr. Tsang was last seen wearing a fluorescent yellow shirt, black shorts, black sports shoes, and carrying a backpack.


After approximately 13 hours of intensive search operations, the rescue team located Mr. Tsang in a jungle area near Blade Ridge early in the morning on June 24. He was found to be suffering from heatstroke, with a faint pulse and weak breathing. The helicopter airlifted him to the Eastern District Hospital, where he underwent cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). However, despite the rescue efforts, Mr. Tsang's condition deteriorated, and he was pronounced dead at 7:25 PM.


The firefighting department mobilized a significant response, deploying 11 fire trucks and 90 firefighters and paramedics, including specialized mountain rescue teams and search dogs. They collaborated with the Civil Aid Service and the Government Flying Service, utilizing various technologies such as unmanned aerial vehicles and analyzing signals from Mr. Tsang's mobile phone. Ultimately, their combined efforts led to the successful location of the missing hiker, although the outcome was tragically met with Mr. Tsang's passing.
