Mr Chan said that the weather during the incident was normal, without rain or strong winds.
“I hope more checks will be conducted on the condition of trees, especially during holiday seasons, when there are decorative lights hanging from them,” he said. “I hope that the same incident doesn’t happen to anyone else.”

“I hope that my wife and I will peacefully and happily live the latter years of our life.”
