Organisers of tragedy-hit Hong Kong Mirror concert under investigation over possible breach of health and safety regulations
- Task force to meet on Monday to investigate incident that left dancer Mo Lee with serious neck injuries
- Hospital spokesman says Lee in critical condition in intensive care unit with ‘stable’ survival index, after surgery on Friday night
The organisers of a string of concerts by Canto-pop boy band Mirror are being investigated by the Labour Department over a possible breach of health and safety laws after a giant television screen fell on to the stage and critically injured a dancer, it was revealed on Sunday.
Officials said a bureau-level task force was expected to meet for the first time on Monday to probe the cause of the incident, which happened on Thursday night.
Investigations involving several government agencies were announced by a spokesman who outlined progress by the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau as performer Mo Lee Kai-yin, 27, remained in intensive care after two major operations on his spine in the neck area.
Lee is in danger of being left paralysed from the neck down.
The news came as Lee’s parents visited their son in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital’s intensive care unit through a special channel on Sunday morning, a few hours after they arrived from Toronto and tested clear for the coronavirus.
“The patient’s condition did not improve significantly after two rounds of surgery. The parents were fully informed of his situation by a team of doctors,” an insider said.
