For those not in the loop, Chinese actor Yu Menglong passed away on 11th September 2025 (Thursday) at age 37. His management team confirmed his death, adding that police investigations have cleared the incident of criminal suspicions. Another statement via the management team, believed to be from Yu Menglong’s mother, said that her son passed away from an accidental fall after consuming too much alcohol.
Despite the statements, fans are convinced that the actor’s death is not an accident nor a suicide.

Fans argued that in this previous livestream, Yu Menglong was secretly pleading for help from fans.
