A Chinese doctor who was accused by police of warning fellow doctors about the initial coronavirus outbreak has died of the illness, according to Wuhan Central Hospital. Li Wenliang, 34, a doctor at Wuhan Central Hospital, was “unfortunately infected during the fight against the new coronavirus infection,” the hospital said on its social media account. “We deeply regret and mourn this.”

He died early on Friday despite an "all-effort rescue" after contracting the virus Jan. 30, according to The People's Daily. The World Health Organization said, “We are deeply saddened by the passing of Dr Li Wenliang. We all need to celebrate the work that he did on the virus.”

In a posting on social media, Li alerted fellow doctors Dec. 30 about the emergence of a SARS-like illness, warning them to wear protective clothing to avoid infection, the newspaper said. The coronavirus in Wuhan has claimed 565 lives among more than 28,300 cases.

Four days later, Li was accused of "making false comments" that had "severely disturbed the social order". Police said he was one of eight people under investigation for "spreading rumors" . Authorities later apologized to Li, who became a national hero as a whistleblower as the illness spread.

The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention said that China should praise the eight Wuhan whistleblowers. "They were wise before the outbreak," though any judgment needs to be backed by scientific evidence. The Supreme People's Court criticized the police for their actions, saying that although the initial reports by Li and others about a possible SARS outbreak were wrong, they were a useful alert that should have been allowed. "If the public listened to this 'rumor' at that time and adopted measures such as wearing a mask and avoiding going to the wildlife market, this may be a better way for us to prevent and control the new disease today."
