A man struggling with drug addiction ignited a gas cylinder at his Sai Kung home in an attempted suicide yesterday morning, causing serious injury to himself and putting his neighbours in danger.
The 49-year-old man, who is married with two children, lives on welfare and is addicted to drugs. He said he was unhappy, and thus the suicide attempt. After igniting the gas cylinder, the man, engulfed in flames, ran out of the house and neighbours tried to put the man on fire out. He is now being treated for burns to his face and arms.
