Police said the 39-year-old
Filipina was found inside her bedroom at her employer’s flat at Villa Monte Rosa estate at 41-A Stubbs Road at about 11pm on Tuesday.
Her male
employer surnamed Wong immediately called 999, and the helper was rushed by
rescuers to Ruttonjee Hospital in Wanchai in a semi-conscious state, and was breathing.
She had reportedly vomited some of the bleach that she ingested when found.
