SINGAPORE, May 9 (Reuters) - China's coal imports fell in April from a 15-month high in the prior month, as weak power demand, high inventories and sliding domestic prices curbed overseas purchases. The world's top coal consumer brought in 40.2 million tonnes of the fossil fuel last month, down from 41.17 million tonnes in March, Reuters calculation based on data from the General Administration of Customs showed on Tuesday.
