He fell sick in late March and was hospitalised on 1 April and diagnosed with SARS.

Controversy
The Incident of Corpse Mix-up
On 11 April 2007, the Prince of Wales Hospital was found to have mixed up the bodies of two deceased patients on 29 March. According to the investigation report, the incident was caused by the non-compliance of a mortuary attendant with the stipulated guidelines in cross checking the identity of the bodies.[8] Fung Hong said there were other contributing factors, such as overcrowding of the mortuary leading to double occupancy of a compartment. Improvements made after the incident included implementation of bar-coding system and increase in mortuary capacity.[9]
