Lots of ambulances and fire engines around Phase 1.
It seems something horrible has happened; better not to guess. Does anyone know anything?

just wondering....is there ever a company that comes and cleans all of the windows on the outside? Not every month (i see the cost issue)...but maybe once every 6 months....?

Good idea, Matador, we should try to find professionals rather than taking avoidable risks.

Yes, I am sure most would be happy to pay a nominal fee for window cleaning...I know I would not even consider dangling out to clean mine, so they remain dirty...Must be professionals...I think management office should investigate this for us...We pay them enough to figure this out...
I also heard of a death in Tower 3 this morning...Tragic, to say the least...

This is appalling (but sadly a common accident in HK & Spore). Management must insist to those that employ helpers that cleaning windows (other than the balcony) is forbidden. The risk is simply too high.

[Ming Daily special news]34 year old of foreign female Din, yesterday morning near 10:00 is discovered by the relatives and friends in its east wells up reflects in the bay garden 1 issue of 3rd residence room “to be missing strangely”, but the window gate opens, the family member fears has the accident, therefore reports to the police. After the rescue groups receive a telegram the appearance, in the platform discovered rapidly Din lodging in which, hurries forward after its inspection confirmed that she has died, does not need to send to hospital. The police after that arrange her the relatives and friends to arrive to recognize the corpse and the investigation, believes her the emotional problem puzzle, but pushes the window from the room to drop, the event is not suspicious.
....as a translation from Babelfish. Not the clearest...but you get the idea.

Very sad that someone is so unhappy that they see no other way other than to kill themselves, equally sad if she did fall

Sadly, suicide is all too common a problem in HK; as I know personally. It is devastating, obviously, but often never the real answer -- it is hard to judge someone who does it or be harsh on them - it is already too sad.
We can only try to support friends and family and not push/stress/demand too much.
