Shen Kai Yiu was found dead in his study in Kowloon Tong. The door was locked from the inside. He was found slumped in his study chair with a pale face, bluish-purple lips, and white foam. The maid Auntie Lin discovered the body using a master key after being unable to reach him by phone. Li Heng requested recusal as the deceased was her and Shen Zhicheng's Second Uncle.
