A Tibetan man died after sustaining severe burns outside the United Nations headquarters in New York on Thursday evening, with exiled Tibetan organisations identifying him as activist Lobga Rangzen and saying his actions were intended as a protest against China's rule in Tibet.
The New York Police Department confirmed that officers responded to an emergency call at about 6.30 pm local time and found a man with severe burns, who was later pronounced dead at Bellevue Hospital. Authorities have not officially identified the deceased or confirmed a motive, and the investigation remains ongoing.
