SINGAPORE - More details have emerged regarding Godfrey Gao, who died suddenly on Wednesday (Nov 27) while filming a variety show. The 35-year-old was said to be unwell when he attended an event in Taiwan on Monday.
Fellow celebrity Gabriel Lan said Gao appeared to have a flu.
However, the Taiwan-born model-actor, who was known for his professionalism, reported for Zhejiang Television's variety show Chase Me as scheduled at 8.30am on Tuesday for pre-production preparations, according to Taiwan's Want Daily. He reportedly looked well as filming continued through the night.
Netizens who were present at the show said that the filming lasted till early morning on Wednesday before Gao said "I can't continue anymore" and then fainted.
He was estimated by Want Daily to have worked almost non-stop for 17 hours before he collapsed at about 1.45am on Wednesday.
Zhejiang Television has since announced that it has stopped filming the night-time variety series. It also clarified that its staff provided immediate assistance to Gao when he lost consciousness.
In Gao's final post on China's Twitter-like Weibo on Tuesday, he congratulated Chinese idol series The Gravity Of A Rainbow for being nominated as one of the top 100 television series of 2019 by Weibo. He starred as a professor with high IQ in the show and the last episode is slated to air next week.
Entertainers such as JJ Lin, Cyndi Wang, Will Pan, Eric Chou, Sonia Sui and Blackie Chen posted all-black photos on Instagram as they mourn the death of Gao.
Meanwhile, Chinese singer Li Wenhan, a member of Chinese boyband Unine, reportedly suffered a serious injury to his ankle while filming the show on the same day with Gao.
