Age: 24

Location:
King Cross, N1
London
United Kingdom

Deep Lee, who was also known as Min Joo Lee was a fashion student from Korea studying in London. According to the Evening Standard: she suffered fatal head injuries on October 1, 2011 and died of her injuries on October 3, 2011.

This ghost bike is mapped on London Remembers which also has a page remembering Deep Lee which is excerpted below:

Deep's boyfriend Kenji Hirasawa wrote: “She came
to London in 2008 and was a menswear student at CSM. She put all her
efforts to be a successful designer in London. The day she passed away
was the 1st day of her final term of 3rd year, and her 1st day at the
new building of CSM after their move from Charing Cross. She was very
excited to go to college and begin to make her graduation collection.”

At the 2013 inquest no blame was apportioned. The driver, Terence
Gibbs, and  Kenji Hirasawa, met for the first time,
very amicably
, and jointly criticised TfL's transport policy and the
road design at this junction.

Road cc points out she was the 13th cyclist to be killed in London in 2011.

In January 2012 cyclists blocked the road at that same intersection asking for more protections for cyclists and pedestrians.
