LilyLark 10,107 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Horrible. He was still young, and while he was already big his career was taking off even more. His poor family. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knife 6,896 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 R.I.P. What a handsome man. It's crazy how someone who I'm assuming is in good physical shape can just die like that. Maybe there was an underlying condition we don't know about, but..that's scary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judas Society 3,584 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Saw a video of him waving goodbye to his fans right before heading to record this variety show. He was just casually waving goodbye and next thing you know.... you'll just never know when is your last moment. So appreciate your life and live it the way you want. Appreciate the people in your life and spend time with them. RIP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't, he appearently just pushed his body too hard while filming. Of course, the Chinese labour laws are way less protective and at the time of his passing, he had been filming physically exhausting challenges for 17 hours straight with no break. According to reports the camera men thought he has overdramatizing (because it is a variety reality TV series he was filming) and they swarmed him because his reaction was funny looking and they caught the very moment he had the heart attack and passed on camera.

Glittertinks 12,465 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I am so sad about this I know him from The Mortal Instruments movie where he played one of my favorite characters from the books and I still followed him on social media although the movie flopped. I always had a soft spot for him and was hoping to see more of his acting again in western medias Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
