Until further details and elaborations are given from official channels (ie. the HK Police force in a press conference / on their website), I urge all parties to consider this as an unofficial, unverified, and unconfirmed report that may or may not be related tothe Occupy Central / Umbrella Revolution.

He shot himself in the head twice, and left a note. They aren't saying what the note had on it but it definitely "has nothing to do with the protests"

It picks up each afternoon with 10's of thousands of people spread throughout 3 main protest sites (Admiralty, Causeway Bay, Mong Kok). A smaller one is forming at TST as well.
