Jury Unanimously Rules Death of 15-year-old Pro-democracy Girl as "Suspicious"; Cause of Death Remains Unknown
The 11-day coroner's inquiry of 15-year-old Chan Yin-lam ended on Sept 11, 2020 in Hong Kong. Chan's naked body was found in the waters in September 2019. Since the police could not justify their change of the case's classification from "suspicious" to "unsuspicious", the public have cast doubt over the police handling of the case and speculated the cause of Chan's death.
On the last day of the death inquest, the presiding coroner David Ko instructed the jury to rule Chan's death over 2 directions: an "accident" or "open verdict". Ko has earlier ruled out “unlawful killing” and “suicide” as the possible cause of death.
After five hours of deliberation, the jury reached for a unanimous open verdict. Many questions remained unsolved. These include whether Chan had taken a taxi to the waterfront, and whether Chan had schizophrenic symptoms on Sept 19, 2020, the day she went missing. The jury believed that Chan had no clothes on when entering the waters.
Chan's mother Ho Pui-yee had given up the right to present on behalf of her daughter, stating to a TVB reporter that she only hoped for the incident to subside, that she would not comment on the issue regardless of the verdict.
