Hong Kong student who fell during weekend protests dies

The Hospital Authority confirmed that Chow Tsz-lok, 22, had died of injuries early on Friday morning. He was a student at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and was on a two-year undergraduate course at the computer science department.

The circumstances of how Chow received his injuries were unclear but police said he was believed to have fallen from one floor to another in a parking lot during weekend crowd dispersal operations in a district east of the Kowloon peninsula. Chow’s death is expected to spark fresh protests and fuel anger and resentment against the police, who are already under immense pressure amid accusations of excessive force as the city grapples with its worst political crisis in decades.
