Father of pro-democracy student asks for citizens' valor and information to uncover truth of his son’s death

Stepping into the second week of the Coroner Inquest of 22-year-old #ChowTszlok’s death, witness Mr Mon was summoned and appeared on the 6th day of the inquest.

Chow’s father thanked Mr Mon for testifying in court. He also called on those who witnessed the incident leading to the death of his son to provide information.

Mr Chow expressed that many enthusiastic citizens have contacted him since Monday, November 23, 2020 after he made the first call for information via mass media.

He mentioned that footage of surveillance cameras has shown many passersby in neighboring areas when the incident happened last year.

He also quoted Judge of the Coroner's Court, Ko Wai-hung, who also asked for more witnesses to provide their accounts of the incident.

Chow’s father said in surveillance cameras footage, there were two citizens going in a hurry to the 3/F of the carpark. In another footage of C28 surveillance camera, a black-clad man suddenly appeared nearby the elevator at 01:03:29 on November 4 last year. The man looked around and walked towards the camera before turning right and left the location where Alex Chow was lying after fell down from height. He asked for their courage to provide any information to this case.

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!"

Recap from Day 10:
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.

When sending Chow to the hospital, there were "obstacles" in Tong Ming Street and the ambulance had to drive in opposite lane. Nevertheless, he said the route to the hospital was "shortened".

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.
