Wang Fuk Court No. 5 Alarm Fire | Suspected Photos of Bodies at Scene Circulate Online? Police: Will Ask Platforms to Remove Them and Take Appropriate Action
宏福苑五級火｜疑似現場遺體相片流出？ 警方：會要求平台移除、採適當行動
Police yesterday gave an update on the search operation following the No. 5 alarm fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po, saying the scene was badly devastated, with some bodies incomplete and others burned to ashes. Photos purportedly showing bodies at the scene were circulated on the LIHKG discussion forum yesterday afternoon. In response to enquiries, police said they took the matter very seriously, would ask the platform to remove the images and take appropriate action, and urged members of the public not to share them out of respect for the deceased. The relevant photos have since been deleted from the original post.
