A 51-year-old hiker who went missing on Lantau Island has been found dead after a two-day search amid a heatwave in Hong Kong. Authorities launched a search for the man, surnamed Chan, on Thursday after his wife made a report to police that morning. She said he had not returned home after leaving for a hike on Wednesday morning. Chan had told his family he planned to hike on section 8 of the Lantau Trail, which connects Shek Pik Reservoir with Kau Ling Chung on the southern part of the outlying.
