Hong Kong singer-songwriter Coco Lee has died after trying to take her own life, according to a Facebook post by her sisters.
Lee sang the theme song Reflection from 1998 Disney movie Mulan, and also became the first Chinese American to perform at the Oscars, singing the track A Love Before Time from Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Lee’s sisters, Carol and Nancy, said she had been in a coma since making the suicide attempt at the weekend: “Coco had been suffering from depression for a few years but her condition deteriorated drastically over the last few months,” the Facebook post stated.
“Although, Coco sought professional help and did her best to fight depression, sadly that demon inside of her took the better of her. On 2 July, she committed suicide at home and was sent to the hospital. Despite the best efforts of the hospital team to rescue and treat her from her coma, she finally passed away on 5 July, 2023.”
Lee’s sisters also thanked the medical staff for trying to save her, and her fans for their support. “Now, our greatest responsibility is to take good care of our elderly mother. I hope everyone will pray for this poor old lady and allow us time and privacy in healing.”
