From Checkpoint, 5:54 pm on 26 October 2022

Police are calling for sightings of a Hong Kong national who died in Queenstown over Labour Weekend.

51-year-old Wai Ming Lai died suddenly on Saturday in Sawpit Gully. He'd been in the country since July.

Police have not been able to establish his exact accommodation or travel plans in New Zealand, so cannot contact his next of kin to advise them of his death.

They're asking for anyone who met Mr Lai to contact Police.
