HONG KONG: HONG KONG: A homeless woman lay dead at a Hong Kong McDonald’s restaurant for hours surrounded by diners who failed to notice her, sparking concern over the city’s “McRefugees”.

The woman, who police say was between 50 and 60, was found dead Saturday morning and has been held up as an example of the growing number of homeless people who seek shelter in 24-hour restaurants.

“Officers arrived upon a report from a female customer that a person was found to have fainted,” police said in a statement and added that  “The subject was certified dead at the scene.”
