One now-deleted post claimed: “I got the news today that Yu Menglong, the lead actor of Eternal Love and Go Princess Go, passed away in Beijing after falling off a building. An insider told me that Yu Menglong was having a meal with 5–6 close friends at a friend’s house on September 9. On September 11, at around 2 am, Yu went to the bedroom to sleep and locked the door from the inside. At around 6 am, as his friends were leaving, they didn’t see him. When they went downstairs, they discovered his body. A neighbour walking their dog saw and called the police. Police have already ruled out any criminal case. The cause is still being investigated.”

When I went to the neighbourhood where the incident occurred, I saw that the window on the 5th floor of the building was broken, just like the tip said. After that, I interviewed a staff member in the neighbourhood, and they confirmed the person who passed away after falling off a building was indeed male star Yu Menglong. The incident happened at 5 am on the 11th. Yu Menglong fell from the 5th floor and died instantly after hitting the concrete floor.”
