Coroner Unearthes Evidence Missed Out by the Police, Casting Doubt on the Arrival and Departure Time of the Ambulance
In November 2019, 22-year-old #HKUST student Alex Chow Tsz-lok fell from the parking lot of Sheung Tak Estate during protests in Tseung Kwan O. He died four days later due to critical brain damage.
The death inquiries have stepped into the 15th day on December 4, 2020. The footage from the ground CCTV No.2 of Kwong Ming Court in Kwong Sun House played by the Court showed a black shadow descending from the parking lot at 12:51:37 in the morning.
Coroner Ko Wai-hung said the black shadow appeared to be Chow, but there was a time difference in the footage. Ko then ordered the police to search for evidence in nearby housing estates and buildings and called on the management property and the owners' corporation to offer assistance as much as possible.
Chow's mother cried bitterly after watching the clip. The video has existed for a long time, and it has been reviewed by the police before.
Coroner Ko said that there was another video showing the arrival and departure time of the ambulance A344 which took Chow to the hospital, and the time was not consistent with the testimony given by the ambulanceman.
Therefore, Ko has listed Fire Services Department as an interested party and has written to the director of Fire Services.
Ko said in order to adjust the time difference in the clip, and to allow police to investigate further, the proceedings would be adjourned to next Tuesday.
Ko also warned before showing the clip, "the content of the clip will be disturbing, family members and the jury must be psychologically prepared."
The police said earlier that the surveillance camera footage of Kwong Ming Court could not capture the parking lot situation, but Ko looked through the clips again for caution and found there were "crucial clips" that would influence the testimonies of the expert witnesses.
He added, "I could only tell the parents of Tze-lok that the video is very important." In order to ensure the investigation was sufficient and complete, he revisited the evidence during the lunch break yesterday, "only by doing this I can be reassured and carry on the proceedings".
However, the police detective Wei Koon-kit who was responsible for reviewing the security footage testified earlier he had obtained and watched all CCTV clips outside Kwong Ming Court.
The lawyer representing the family asked, "is there any footage that captured what was happening outside the parking lot?", Wei answered no, and said, "we would also like to have these footages for investigating this case, but the problem is the focus of the camera cannot capture the parking lot!"

Chief Ambulanceman: Ambulance Was Obstructed Twice and Spent 20 Minutes to Arrive
On the 10th day of the Coroner Inquest of 22-year-old pro-democracy student Alex Chow Tsz-lok, the chief ambulanceman testified in court.
He said the ambulance was obstructed twice by vehivles including bus and private car. The ambulancemen walked over 100m to arrive at the carpark where Chow was injured.

Victims' Families Request to Review Court's Refusal to Inquire the Lamma Island Ferry Disaster
The Lamma Island Ferry Disaster is a ferry collision Lamma Island which killed 39 people in Hong Kong in 2012.
The family members of the victims received a notice from the Coroner’s Court in Nov 2020, stating that the cause of death was clear and decided that no inquiry shall be held.
The families wrote to the Coroner’s Court to request for a review of the decision. It has been 8 years since the ferry disaster.
When asked about the recent inquest on the death of Chow Tsz-lok and the new evidence presented to the court, the family members explained that holding an inquest would give them a better chance to gather more information to reveal the truth. “It's like putting together a puzzle, you might be able to find the piece that you have lost”.
Former legislator of the Democractic Party, James To Kun-sun, held a press conference with the family members and the survivors on Dec 5, 2020.
To had sent a letter to the Coroner’s Court on Dec 1, 2020 to request the Coroner to reconsider the review.

Ambulanceman Testifies: Could have Reached #AlexChow Earlier if Not for Police Action Nearby
The inquest into the death of Alex Chow Tsz Lok for the 19th day on Dec 16, 2020. The Coroner's court summoned Ambulanceman Cheng Kwun-ming, who has already testified in court previously.
The court played back the security camera footage, which showed the ambulance numbered A344, transporting Cheng's team, had been parked for nearly 8 minutes before the team began making their way to the injured Chow.
Cheng explained that the time was spent on tasks including communicating with their superiors, assessing the accident site, donning gas masks, and gathering equipment.
When asked if the ambulancemen could have spent less time gearing up, Cheng emphatically stated, "every part of the procedure was necessary."
At the end of the questioning session, Cheng added his own observations, emphasizing that they could have reached Chow earlier, had vehicles not been blocking the way of their ambulance. Also, he received reports that police was advancing towards the area; if he was able to ascertain that there were no clashes at the accident site, then they would not have needed to put on gas masks, allowing them to reach the gravely injured Chow much earlier.
