2 U.S. men found dead at hotel
Authorities are investigating the deaths of two Americans whose bodies were found at one of Hong Kong’s most luxurious hotels, police and media said today.
Cleaning staff found the two men’s bodies in a room at the five-star Grand Hyatt on Friday afternoon, a police spokeswoman said.
The cause of the deaths had not been determined, and an autopsy was expected, the spokeswoman said. Police were not yet treating the deaths as suspicious, she said.
The spokeswoman confirmed both men were U.S. citizens, but said she did not know where they were from. The South China Morning Post newspaper identified them as Cherry Paul, 45, and Victor Richard, 52, and said they had arrived on a business trip Oct. 10.
