(Bloomberg) -- Warren Lee, head of capital markets solutions at Standard Chartered Plc in Hong Kong, died along with two family members in a car crash in New Zealand. He was 53.
Lee, 52-year-old Aesoon Lee and their daughter Julia Lee, 20, were killed when their car crashed near the North Island town of Tokoroa on Tuesday, New Zealand Police said in a statement. Warren and Aesoon Lee were U.S. citizens.
Julia Lee was driving the car when it crashed, police said. Her 18-year-old brother, also an American living in Hong Kong, remains in a critical but stable condition in Waikato Hospital, according to the statement.
“We are deeply saddened by the loss of Warren Lee,” Standard Chartered said in an e-mailed statement Friday. “We have already reached out to his family to offer assistance and support. The bank will provide counselling services to staff members as appropriate.”
The family was in New Zealand to help their daughter settle at university in Auckland, where she was due to begin studies after moving from Massachusetts, police said.
