A Hong Kong university student who fell off a parking garage after police fired tear gas during clashes with anti-government protesters died, in a rare fatality after five months of unrest in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory.
Hospital staff walk out from the ICU ward where a university student who critically injured during a protest, is treated at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Hong Kong, Friday, Nov. 8, 2019. A hospital official says the 22-year-old Hong Kong university student who fell off a carpark building after police fired tear gas during clashes with anti-government protesters has died.
Local media reported that Chow has been in a coma with brain injury since he was found early Monday sprawled in a pool of blood on the second floor of the building. Police believed he plunged from an upper floor but it wasn’t captured by security cameras. “The police has stated earlier that they attach great importance to the incident and the crime unit is now conducting a comprehensive investigation with a view to finding out what happened,” it said in a statement.
