22-year-old Chow Tsz-lok dies in a clash with police after falling down from the parking lot in Hong Kong.

22-year-old Chow Tsz-lok, a student in Hong Kong, was protesting against the government’s demonstrations that have taken over the city when he fell from the parking lot. A clash between the police and protesters started when he died. This is the first death from injuries sustained during the protest.

Soon after the accident, he was taken to the hospital where the doctor’s confirmed that he died on Friday morning after suffering from brain damage due to a fall from the parking lot during protests on Sunday.

Chow was a computer science student at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). He was found badly injured early on Monday morning in a car parking lot in Tseung Kwan O in Kowloon, where he was expected to have fallen one storey.

His death has turned out to be the first due to the clashes with police, who were trying to control the protestors at the time they were trying to disrupt a police officer’s wedding, which took place in the area. It was not clear why Chow was in the parking lot or why he fell from there.

Security footage from the area has shown that the police fired multiple rounds of teargas nearby at the time of the protest, but it also showed that police had not fired any heavy rounds of the gas in the parking area before the student from HKUST fell.

It is clear that this death is going to increase the fire in the protestors and the protest is going to go strong against the government as demonstrators continue to ask for an investigation into the behavior of the police. The police have been accused of using excessive force on protesters and as a result, Chow died.

Blaming the police for the incident, the protestors are marching on the roads holding flowers, black banners and blocking traffic. On Friday, they are also heard shouting “Hongkongers, seek revenge!”

As HKUST has decided to hold a vigil, the protestors have called for city-wide demonstrations on Friday evening to mark Chow’s death.

Though the students of the university are seeking answers as to why the police did so, the faculty and authorities are asking them to remain calm to avoid further clashes and tragedy.
