morgue. The family apprently did not check the identity when collecting the body.

When Mr. Wong Fong Ho’s family came to collect the dead body, the staff of the morgue gave them the body of a 57 – years - old man who was also called Mr. Wong. But when Mr. Wong Fo Ho’s son examined the body, he found that it had front teeth, tattoos on the
shoulders and a deep scar on the left side of the face, which his father did not have.
