Yu Menlung became one of China's most famous faces thanks to his role in the fantasy romantic series 'Eternal Love'.

“With great sorrow, we report that our beloved Menlung has fallen from a height,” the statement read.
“The police found no evidence of foul play. We hope he finds peace, and his family remains strong.”
Speculation about his death began even before this statement when one paparazzi page reported that the artist had died. According to their information, Menlung fell 'from a height' from a friend's apartment in Beijing.
A deleted post stated that Yu spent the evening with 'five or six' friends and then locked himself in the guest room around 2 a.m.
“When his friends left the apartment in the morning at 6, they could not find him and only discovered his body on the first floor,” the post read.
“A resident walking a dog contacted the police, who found no signs of a crime,” the message added.
Meanwhile, an investigation into the incident is ongoing.
