Death linked to press

A mother claimed in the Coroner's Court that an inaccurate newspaper report about an indecent assault may have led to the suicide of her son, Fung Wai-kwong, 20, in November. She blamed an Oriental Daily News report on the case that claimed Fung had videotaped the alleged victim. Coroner Michael Chan Pik-kiu said he believed this had not happened and recorded a verdict of suicide.
