The Hong Kong government says a 22-year-old university student died on Friday morning after sustaining injuries while allegedly taking part in a pro-democracy protest.
This is the first death related to the protests that have rocked the territory for the last five months.
The man was found on Monday on the third level of a parking facility in a residential district of the Kowloon Peninsula.
Hong Kong police say he might have accidentally fallen from the fourth level.
He was rushed to a hospital and treated, but did not regain consciousness.
At the time of the incident, police were reportedly using tear gas to remove protesters from a nearby area.
The man's death is expected to further fuel public anger at the government and police.
