She said that although she was initially suspicious of the death of Chan, she said that her daughter was not emotionally stable, and may well have had psychosis as demonstrated by auditory hallucination. She said that her daughter once participated in distributing the leaflet of the protests in June, but had become disillusioned by July. She added that she had been doxxed since her daughter's death, resulting in her being harassed at work and telephoned at all hours. Ho pleaded to the general public to end the speculation and for her to be left alone. Chan's mother appeared on TV wearing a surgical mask, and her face was edited out by mosaic. In the TV interview, she has long hair. However, multiple recent photos of Chan's mother on Facebook show that she had short hair in July. Ho's interview and the police's assertion that Chan had committed suicide were met with some skepticism: a political activist who knows Chan's brother doubted that Chan had committed suicide by drowning, citing the fact that she was an award-winning swimmer. Retired coroner Philip Beh commented that the circumstances of the discovery and cremation of Chan's body were suspicious: discoveries of fully naked bodies in the sea are generally treated as suspect and would require thorough investigations, yet Beh's opinion is that Chan's body was hastily cremated after a preliminary autopsy. Beh opined that police should release further information about the autopsy and a coroner's inquest should be undertaken to allay suspicions of police misconduct. In the self-penned Cantonese composition "Explicit Comment" (人話) released in late 2019, singer-songwriter Charmaine Fong made reference to the public's scepticism of the official narrative of Chan's death with the lyric "The truth has long since disappeared, write your ridiculous plots". In the associated music video, the last-known footage of Chan and of police press conferences are juxtaposed. Manuel R. Ojeda  Manuel R.
