Hong Kong student remains in coma more than a month after Road to Ultra music festival
Woman, who tested positive for controlled drugs, is believed to have an underlying heart problem
A university student has been in a coma and connected to a life-support machine in hospital for more than a month after she was among four revellers who passed out during an electronic music festival at the West Kowloon arts hub in Hong Kong.
The woman, 21, and another two male survivors tested positive for controlled drugs but the two men, who have since regained consciousness, denied they had taken illegal substances, the Post learned.
The woman, understood to have an underlying heart problem, remained in critical condition in Queen Elizabeth Hospital on Monday. She attended the Road to Ultra music festival on September 16 when she returned to Hong Kong for the summer holidays while studying in Britain.
The other two survivors are local men aged 22 and 29, who collapsed during the festival and later regained consciousness in hospital.
Explain this: What happened at Road to Ultra and what’s next for Hong Kong’s festival scene?
The younger man is also a university student who returned to the city while studying in the United States. He remained in a stable condition in hospital on Monday.
