A 64-year-old Filipina domestic worker was discovered unresponsive in her employer’s residence in the affluent Mid-Levels district Tuesday morning, prompting an immediate medical response.
The incident occurred at Robinson Garden Apartments on Robinson Road in Central, where the worker’s employer contacted emergency services around 7:41 am after finding the helper lying unconscious in bed.
Paramedics quickly arrived at the scene and transported the worker to Queen Mary Hospital for urgent medical intervention. Sources familiar with the case indicated the domestic helper had pre-existing medical conditions.
Local police have initiated a preliminary investigation, though initial reports suggest no immediate signs of foul play. The worker’s current medical status remains undisclosed.
Domestic helpers, predominantly from the Philippines and Indonesia, form a critical component of Hong Kong’s workforce, often providing essential household support for middle and upper-class families.
This incident underscores the potential health vulnerabilities faced by elderly foreign workers in high-stress, demanding domestic employment environments.
The Hong Kong Police are continuing their investigation, and further details are expected to emerge in the coming days.
