TWO young sons of a British actor living in Hong Kong have been killed when fire tore through their home.
Emergency services rushed to the home of Simon Watkiss, who has appeared in a handful of Hong Kong-made films, when a fire broke out on Saturday.
The two brothers, aged seven and eight, were carried unconscious from the family's house and taken to hospital suffering suspected smoke inhalation.
They were pronounced dead, police told AFP.
A domestic helper injured in the fire was taken to hospital in a critical condition, while the boys' parents escaped without injury.
"As some of you know the worst thing that could ever happen has happened! My house burned down and my two beautiful sons Eliot and Frankie died in the fire," a message posted on Watkiss's Facebook page said on Sunday.
On the Facebook page Watkiss describes himself as a self-employed actor who has appeared in Hong Kong-made films and commercials.
The British expatriate and his wife Candy were said by friends to be devastated at their loss, according to the English-language South China Morning Post newspaper.
Watkiss shared the screen with Hong Kong veteran Tony Leung Ka-fai in the 2009 crime thriller I Corrupt All Cops, and appeared in the 2008 thriller Connected, which starred Hong Kong actor Louis Koo and Taiwan's Barbie Hsu.
Police investigating the blaze at the house, in Hong Kong's rural north, said the fire was not thought to be suspicious.
