The father of Mo Li Kai-yin, the Hong Kong dancer left paralyzed after a giant screen fell on him during a 2022 concert by popular boy band Mirror, has died. The Christian Ministry Institute announced the death of Reverend Derek Li Shing-lam on Saturday, without disclosing the cause or exact date of his passing.

Mo Li’s family filed a civil lawsuit against the show’s producers, seeking compensation for his lifelong medical needs.
