A Hong Kong protester who came to prominence after falling to his death in the early days of the 2019 social unrest left behind a note saying he had lost hope in the city and blamed the government for pushing him to jump, an inquest has heard.
The Coroner s Court also learned on Tuesday (May 11) that Marco Leung Ling Kit - known as raincoat man for the yellow outfit he was wearing when he appeared at the top of a set of scaffolding to post an anti-extradition bill message - had purchased life insurance and made arrangements for his own cremation, unbeknown to his family, prior to his death outside the Pacific Place shopping mall in Admiralty on June 15, 2019.

When Hong Kong-born Dino Hira was 30 years old, he appeared to have it all: a well-paid job with good career prospects and a big house and fancy car. Yet he felt unfulfilled and began to experience bouts of depression, which were exacerbated when his long-term relationship with his girlfriend ended. I was heartbroken and felt helpless, recalls Hira, now aged 37. It was difficult to open up to others and discuss my feelings. I thought I d be seen as weak and was too ashamed to ask for help.

The boy s blood sugar level did fall and he suffered headaches. But he survived the attacks.
On Wednesday (May 5), the 29-year-old mother was sentenced to five years jail after she pleaded guilty to causing hurt to the boy by using a poison.
