A 29-year-old woman died last night after receiving acupuncture treatment at a store on Jaffe Road in Causeway Bay.

When her therapist, a 32-year-old man surnamed Li, pulled the needles out of her foot she began to have a seizure and fell unconscious.

Staff immediately called an ambulance. Yan was pronounced dead at Ruttonjee Hospital.

An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of death.
