He then stabbed himself in the neck and stomach, and asked the devil to "take him" and for his wife and unborn daughter to go to heaven. A report from the Institute of Mental Health stated that due to his adjustment disorder, Chow had "catastrophic thinking that he would be bankrupt with no way out and had suicidal thoughts but felt that his death would bring shame to his wife".

They reassured him that the company made profits in the previous months, and that it was in a financially sound position to weather through the next two years. His mother took him out for lunch and took him home to rest after he repeated the same concerns to her.
