Hong Kong protesters blame police over the death of a university student who fell from a parking lot while trying to escape tear gas that police had fired during a pro-democracy protest at the weekend.

Demonstrators thronged the hospital during the week to pray for Mr Chow, leaving flowers and hundreds of get-well messages on walls. Students also staged rallies at universities across the former British colony.

"He was a nice person; he was sporty. He liked playing netball and basketball," friend and fellow UST student Ben, 25, said."I hope he can rest in peace. I really miss him." Police rejected accusations that they played a role in Mr Chow's death, saying officers were not present in the carpark when he fell.

"The first time they entered to conduct a patrol, but the deceased was not yet inside. For the second time, they entered while fire services officers were already rendering first aid to the deceased," East Kowloon District Superintendent Suzette Foo said. "There are accusations that police officers chased after the man before his fall. We must clarify that it is certainly false."Mr Chow had been pursuing a two-year undergraduate degree in computer science. His death occurred on graduation day for many students at his university, located in the Clear Water Bay district on the Kowloon side of the harbour., chanted"Stand with Hong Kong" and spray-painted Mr Chow's name and pinned photos of him on nearby walls.

Oh course they will, it's just their plan to kill to spread fear into the other protesters, somehow I don't think it will work.

Been brainwashed from little by colonial education system you young generation know nothing good about China and your hearts are full of hate. Do you really believe your UK Dad or US dad willl adopt you? They are just using your folly to disrupt China.

what I know is lots of HK residents who have Australian PR visa have moved back to Australia recently because they think HK is no more a peaceful city to live and work because of what you violent riots have done these months. You riots are destroying your own city.

Never heard that before 😂 police around the world hate accountability so often I have seen police abuse their power and are protected by police management and politicians time to sue the head of police and make them accountable

hongkong is the triad homeland where criminals return home after their criminal activities overseas and return to their sanctuary, safe from international prosecution. that is what the hongkongprotests are all about.

Hong Kong police is liar. They have been telling lies for months.

Throwing petrol bombs of course police are going to defend themselves.

HongKongPolice do have no any integrity. HKPolice cannot be trusted. They must be accountable for the lost life. PoliceBrutality

RIP. We HongKonger cannot forgive what HongKongPolice have done. Lying everytime and no one trust them. They are enemy of freedom and democracy.

Hong Kong police is full of lies! Independent investigation must be carried out.

As Nike and the NBA stand with China.

NSW Police Commissioner hits back at coroner's findingsNSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller has hit back immediately against a coroner's findings into music festivals, saying any suggestion his officers contributed to the drug-related deaths of six young revellers 'will be strongly defended by me.' Facts are facts. The court has ruled. If the officers are severely traumatised by the findings, perhaps they should seek medical assistance. Support for NSW Police and Mick Fuller. Shut down the festivals 😡
