The death of Chinese actor Yu Menglong has gripped Asia and sparked widespread speculation online. The 37-year-old performer, best known for his roles in historical dramas and his music career, was found dead on 11 September after falling from a building in Beijing's Chaoyang district.
Authorities said the death was accidental and linked to alcohol consumption. Police reviewed CCTV and forensic evidence and found no sign of criminal involvement. However, the ruling has not quelled debate on social media, where false rumours have circulated suggesting a far darker end for the actor and his two pet dogs.
