    According to a 'Mystery Deepens' article in the Post, the British Consulate will not formally state that a death has occurred. Presumably they have not been able to identify - or perhaps even see - the body, let alone bring it back to HK.

    It certainly looks as if the Public Security Bureau has something to hide, and is trying to make up a story. What they're hiding may be nothing worse than incompetence. Let's hope.

    As he'd been teaching so long, there must be - besides friends and colleagues - thousands of students who remember him.

    Perhaps he was carrying some books with him? Catcher in the Rye?

    According to Apple Daily Bower had 2 to 3 gfs in China. One of those gf (not the mother of the kid) admitted to the police she committed the murder with two other men.

    Hmm. My sympathy for him definitely just took a dive.

    If indeed it is true. It took 3 weeks for the PSB to inform others that he was murdered. And now their story is he had 2 or 3 gf's which is a typical mainland story. A panacea to explain all. Nah.
