Death of Chan Yin-lam

Chan Yin-lam was a teenage girl who died on 19 September 2019, probably. Her dead-body, without clothing, was discovered floating in the sea near Yau Tong, Hong Kong, on 22 September 2019. Following a preliminary autopsy, the police asserted that no foul play was suspected and that she killed herself.[1]

Expert (Philip Beh Swan-lip) thought that the discovery and cremation of Chan's body were suspicious: fully naked bodies in the sea would require thorough investigations. He thought that Chan's body had been hastily cremated, and urged for a coroner's inquest.[2][3] A jury decided, in September 2020, to rule out both homicide and suicide due to the lack of evidence. [4]

The rumour is that she was murdered because she took part in the 2019 Hong Kong protests,[5] but Chan's mother agrees with the conclusion that her daughter killed herself.[6][7] Skeptics doubt the identity of the person (based on the ponytail hair) in the TV interview of Chan's mother. They think that she was faking to be Chan's mother. The real mother was supposed to have short hair.[8]
