HONG KONG, Jan 9 (SCMP):A jury will rule as early as on Friday on the cause of a Hong Kong student’s fatal fall in a car park near the site of a protest more than a year ago, as the presiding coroner on Thursday ruled out the possibility that the young man was pushed.

Coroner Ko Wai-hung gave instructions to the five-member jury on deliberations at the end of a five-week inquest into the death of Alex Chow Tsz-lok, who sustained severe head injuries after falling inside a multistorey car park in Tseung Kwan O in November of 2019.
