HONG KONG: Kenneth Tsang, a Hong Kong actor known for his tough-guy supporting roles as cops, crime bosses and kung fu masters, and as a ubiquitous television pitchman for hair dye, died Wednesday while in hotel quarantine in the city. He was 87.

His death was confirmed by his manager, Andrew Ooi. A cause of death was not immediately reported. Tsang was undergoing mandatory quarantine as part of the standard requirement for travellers entering Hong Kong from abroad and had tested negative for the coronavirus a day before he was found dead, the public broadcaster RTHK reported. Hong Kong requires most arrivals to spend at least one week in hotel quarantine.
