An expert suggested that Chow Tsz-lok may have fallen to his death accidentally, thinking there is a sidewalk over the wall on the third floor. The Coroner’s Court probe into the death of University of Science and Technology student Chow Tsz-lok has heard from an expert suggesting that Chow may have fallen to his death accidentally, rather than being attacked and thrown off the wall. Chow, 22, died from brain injuries four days after he fell from the third to the second floor of Sheung Tak Estate car park in the early hours of November 4 last year, while police clashed with anti-government protesters nearby. The government chemist believed that Chow had previously leap over the same wall on the second floor to reach the sidewalk, where he was trying to do the same on the third floor. He said the CCTV cameras are rotated randomly making anyone wanting to ambush Chow difficult to hide from being captured by the cameras.
