The sad case of a newly wed couple with the husband found dead after the wedding dinner. But ST has reported 2 different ages of the wife, 1 is 34 the other is 27. Although it does not really matter but as a 'creditable' media they shouldn't have 2 versions.
HOURS after celebrating his wedding, the groom was found dead on the driveway of the Hilton Hotel in Orchard Road early on Wednesday.
Mr Vernon Leong Jun Wei, 31, who ran a computer shop in Sim Lim Square, had earlier held his wedding reception at the five-star hotel attended by over 300 guests.
He was last seen smoking at the rooftop garden on the 24th floor of the hotel. His body, clad in T-shirt and shorts, was found on the driveway of the hotel at about 3am.
Police received a call about the case at 3.25am. Paramedics pronounced the man dead when they arrived at the scene.
The man and his newly-wed wife, who is said to be three years older than the groom, were staying in the hotel on Wednesday before their wedding reception.
Guests were shocked when they heard of Mr Leong's death. Said one of them: 'He was a very cheerful person and had just got married. Nobody could believe he was dead just hours after celebrating his wedding.'

THE bridegroom who died hours after his wedding dinner was caught on the hotel's security camera making for the fire escape staircase on the floor of his 10th-storey wedding suite.
Mr Vernon Leong, 31, was next seen scrambling through the Hilton Singapore's second floor, where there is a shopping arcade.
He was a strange sight: barefoot, empty-handed and in T-shirt and shorts, sources told The Straits Times. He also seemed to be in a hurry.
Mr Leong, co-owner of a shop in Sim Lim Square selling computer peripherals, fell to his death early Wednesday morning.
He had hosted his wedding dinner in the hotel's third-floor ballroom and adjourned with his bride and a company of friends to their 10th floor suite after 11pm.
But it seems that he left the suite at about 3am after the friends had left and his wife, Ms Kerin Peh, 27, was taking a shower.
