Hong Kong veteran actor Benz Hui has died aged 76.
Host and family friend Maria Luisa Leitao broke the news to the media on behalf of his family.
He was revealed to have died at 2.30am today (Oct 28) from multiple organ failure due to cancer.
Benz, who’s a Singapore PR, leaves behind wife Angeli Lung, daughter Charmaine and son-in-law Shane Sim.
Back in 2020, the family settled down in Singapore and he gave a tour of his 4,000 sq ft bungalow in Yishun which cost $4 million including renovations.
Earlier in June, netizens reportedly raised concerns about his health after noticing that he panted frequently when walking on a flat road. At the time, Benz was taking his entrepreneur daughter Charmaine back to his old residence in Guangzhou.
His friend and former Member of Parliament Lee Bee Wah paid tribute to Benz in a Facebook post today: “So sad to lose a great guy. Deepest condolences to the family.”
