A woman was later seen being carried out of the car and placed under a blue tent.
Several people believed to be the deceased’s family members appeared, all looking distressed.
Two women were so overwhelmed by grief, believed to be after identifying the body, that they fainted.
They were taken to a nearby area to rest, with police seen sheltering them with an umbrella and fanning them.
It was observed that the police spent more than three hours investigating the case, with the carpark still cordoned off until about 11.30pm.
They were seen removing items from the vehicle and taking photos of them, including cash and ang pow paper.
