A Lianhe Zaobao reporter observed that at around 12pm, the overhead bridge had been cordoned off by police.

A blue tent was placed on the right-most lane of the road.

Some blood stains were seen on the ground.

Three of the lanes on the road were closed, with only the leftmost lane available for traffic access.

Witnesses told Zaobao that the deceased appeared to be a Caucasian man.

Authorities were seen retrieving a suitcase that apparently belonged to the deceased from the overhead bridge.
