Hong Kong Billionaire Walter Kwok Dies At Age 68

Walter Kwok, the former chairman of Sun Hung Kai Properties, died on Saturday morning at the age of 68. He had been hospitalized since late August after suffering a stroke while at his home.

In a short statement released on Sunday, Kwok’s wife of more than 30 years said the former Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) chairman “left this world peacefully … with his loving family by his bedside”.

Wendy Kwok Lee Ting-wing thanked the medical team at Hong Kong Adventist Hospital who had been caring for her husband, who was 68.

“We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to the supportive team of doctors and nurses, as well as to all our relatives, friends and business acquaintances for their loving care and concern,” she wrote.

“Church service arrangements will be announced in due course.”

SHKP on Sunday, meanwhile, expressed “great sadness and sorrow” at the death of its former chairman.
