Lee was found in the bathroom with a handwritten note and bottles of bleach and floor cleaner solution.

Neighbours who were interviewed said that they saw loan sharks visiting Lee’s condo unit at 5:30pm but were not allowed in. An argument between the couple followed after Lee’s wife came home and found scratch marks on their car.
