Chinese Actor Yu Menglong Found Dead At Age 37, Paparazzi Discloses Unconfirmed Details
Actor Yu Menglong (also known as Alan Yu) passed away at 37 years old on September 11. His management team confirmed his death after rumours began circulating on Weibo.
The rumors began earlier this morning after a paparazzi reporter broke the news about Yu’s death in a post that has since been deleted:
I got the news today that Yu Menglong, the lead actor of Eternal Love and Go Princess Go, passed away in Beijing after falling off a building. An insider told me that Yu Menglong was having a meal with 5 – 6 good friends at a friend’s house on September 9. On September 11, at around 2am, Yu Menglong went to the bedroom to sleep and locked the door from the inside. At around 6am, as his friends were leaving, they didn’t see him. When they went downstairs, they discovered his body. A neighbor who was walking their dog saw and called the police. The police has already ruled out this being a criminal case. The cause is still being investigated.
Concerned fans reportedly reached out to Yu’s management team on social media, and the paparazzi reporter wrote a follow-up post with additional details. This post has also now been deleted.
I got a tip this morning saying Yu Menglong has passed away after falling off a building in Beijing. When I went to the neighborhood where the incident occurred, I saw that the window on the 5th floor of the building was broken, just like what the tip said. After that, I interviewed a staff member in the neighborhood, and they confirmed the person who passed away after falling off a building was indeed male star Yu Menglong. The incident happened at 5am on the 11th. Yu Menglong fell off from the 5th floor and died instantly after hitting the concrete floor.
Yu’s management has now confirmed his death, stating that the police have ruled out “any criminality.”
With unbearable sorrow, we announce that our beloved Menglong fell to his death on Sept 11. Police have ruled out any criminality. We hope he rests in peace and his loved ones remain strong.
— Yu Meng Long’s management
Yu’s entertainment career began in 2007, when he participated in the talent reality show My Show! My Style!. He went on to debut as an actor in the short film The Little Prince (2011), and went on to act in a number of Chinese series, including Go Princess Go, Love Game in Eastern Fantasy, and Feud.
May he rest in peace.
