Six-year-old boy among victims after late-night blaze in Kin Wong Mansion
Three male members of a family, including a six-year-old boy, died in hospital after being pulled from a burning flat in Hong Kong’s Mong Kok district late on Thursday.
Firefighters found the three – a man in his eighties, one in his forties and the boy – unconscious in the flat in an old residential building on Sai Yee Street near Argyle Street shortly after the blaze was reported at about 11.10pm.
A woman in her seventies was also rescued but remained conscious.
All four were rushed to either Kwong Wah Hospital or Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Yau Ma Tei for treatment. The men and the boy died early on Friday. There was no immediate word on the woman’s condition.
