Student's death in China unrelated to school trip

The Hong Kong education chief stated that the death of a St Paul’s College student during a school trip to mainland China was unrelated to the tour. This follows weeks of public concern and petitions for transparency. The student died in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, with reports suggesting it was an apparent suicide. However, the school and government have not confirmed details about the cause or date of death. St Paul’s College expressed mourning for the student and faced pressure from alumni for responsible handling of the situation. The investigation has concluded, but calls for further transparency and preventive measures continue.
