Dr Hu Weifeng, urologist
Dr Hu Weifeng ‑ an urologist who was treating patients at the Wuhan Central Hospital where Covid-19 was originally identified ‑ passed away on 2 June 2020 after a four-month fight with Covid-19.
He made headlines in March, when his skin turned black "due to liver dysfunction" during his treatment.
The exact cause of his death has not been made public but the news has triggered an outpouring of anger on Chinese social media sites.
He tested positive for the virus in January, during the early stages of the Chinese outbreak, and was transferred to different hospitals for treatment the following two months.
His condition initially improved in mid-March; however, he then suffered cerebral haemorrhages in late April and May.
