A NEWLYWED groom was found dead on the driveway of the Hilton Hotel in Orchard Road early on Wednesday, just hours after his wedding reception at the hotel.

The 31-year-old Chinese man had gone up to the hotel pool area on the 24th floor for a smoke and is believed to have fallen from there.

His body, clad in T-shirt and shorts, was found on the driveway at about 3 am.
