HONG KONG (Reuters) - Hong Kong activists on Thursday lay sunflowers and white lilies at a memorial site for a man who fell to his death during recent protests against an extradition bill that has plunged the former British colony into turmoil.

Marco Leung, 35, fell to his death in June after unfurling banners against the now-suspended legislation that would have allowed people to be sent to mainland China for trial.
