American tourist plunges to her death from 29th floor of Hong Kong hotel

An American tourist has died after plunging from the 29th floor of a Hong Kong boutique hotel on Monday – and seven people on the ground were also injured.

The woman, only identified as a 69-year-old, fell to her death just after 9 a.m. after going to the pool deck of the Hotel Indigo Hong Kong Island, located in the bustling commercial district of Wan Chai, the South China Morning Post reported.

The tourist battled depression and had stopped taking her medication in March, a police source told the outlet. Her husband had left the hotel for a doctor’s appointment just one hour before the tragedy.
