An actress who fueled speculation about the late Yu Menglong‘s death was injured after receiving a threatening message.

On September 11, the management team for actor Yu Menglong (also known as Alan Yu) confirmed that he had passed away at 37 years old.

With unbearable sorrow, we announce that our beloved Menglong fell to his death on September 11. Police have ruled out any criminality. We hope he rests in peace and his loved ones remain strong.

Internet sleuths presented video clips as “evidence” that the actor’s fatal fall was not accidental, including one of Yu allegedly screaming. Another deleted video, which was screen-recorded by a netizen, is rumored to show the moments leading up to Yu’s death.

Recently, I experienced immense pain and sorrow as my dear son Menglong had a fatal fall from height after consuming alcohol and left us forever.

This sudden change has plunged us into deep sorrow. The police have informed me of their investigation, and his funeral arrangements have been completed. I hope everyone will view this accident rationally and stop making further speculations.

I also hope to return to my peaceful life soon and while cherishing my memories of Menglong, I strive to live every day well. I believe this is also Menglong’s wish. Lastly. I hope he rests in peace in heaven. Once again, thank you everyone for your concern and those who have helped us before.

The police in Beijing detained three women for spreading rumors about Yu’s cause of death and released a statement on September 21. Zheng (40) posted that Yu had jumped to his death after being sexually assaulted by a higher-up. Yuan (29) posted that someone had disemboweled Yu before throwing him off a building, and Xu (41) allegedly told netizens that surveillance footage from the scene of the crime had been destroyed. She also allegedly said that someone was manipulating Yu’s mother and sister.

However, certain individuals fabricated and disseminated false information online to attract attention and boost traffic, splicing together fabricated videos that severely disrupted public order. The police have initiated an investigation in accordance with the law.

Chinese actress Sun Lin has also voiced doubts about Yu’s death in now-deleted posts. On September 11, the day of Yu’s passing, Sun Lin posted, “Rest easy, none of us will forget you.” A few days later, she posted again, writing, “Your fans will fight for justice. Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent.”

Fans reportedly began to notice the actress’s posts being deleted due to “violating content rules.” Midway through September, Sun Lin told netizens that she had heard “some clues” and assured fans that she was safe. She also revealed that she had received a threat from an anonymous netizen who had told her to stop talking about Yu’s death.

On September 19, Sun Lin was injured by a falling flowerpot while collecting a package and required in-hospital treatment. She updated fans on September 21 about her injuries.

I have been in the hospital since then. I am much better today, so I came out to explain. I did not want to cause panic. Thank you for your concern. I will be discharged tomorrow and show all the evidence of the hospital examination. Thank you for your concern and support.

The actress then returned to social media on September 24, with a photo of herself receiving an IV drip and a message that has reportedly fueled more concerns for her safety.
