ABC News Online: Coronavirus whistleblower doctor Li Wenliang dies from infection in Wuhan, local hospital says

Li Wenliang, 34, was one of eight whistleblowers who tried to warn other medical workers of the outbreak, but was accused of spreading fake information by local police, according to the state-run Global Times newspaper.
