On July 5, Coco Lee's relatives confirmed that the 48-year-old singer had passed away. Three days earlier, she was found dead at her home. Coco Lee's family said that the singer had suffered from depression for many years.
According to HK01, Coco Lee's mother and maid were the ones who discovered the singer in critical condition. Relatives took Coco Lee to the emergency room. According to the doctor treating the Hong Kong diva, the 48-year-old singer fell into a coma and stopped breathing before arriving at the hospital.

Coco Lee and her husband are said to have separated since mid-2022. Since then, she has moved in with her mother and two sisters. They are also the singer's only relatives. Her father died before Coco Lee was born.
Currently, Coco Lee's relatives, especially the singer's mother who is over 80 years old, are very depressed and sad. They ask the media to respect the family's privacy and limit publishing inaccurate information about the singer's private life.
Coco Lee's sister revealed that the singer has been suffering from depression for several years now, but in the past 6 months, Coco Lee's condition has gotten worse. She has been hospitalized for treatment of exhaustion since last May.
The singer revealed that she lost weight rapidly at the beginning of the year. She weighed only 42kg, although she had previously maintained a weight of 52kg. Last January, the singer had to go to the US for surgery on her leg injury, and had to use a wheelchair and practice walking for a while.
The singer was also warned by doctors that she would not be able to continue dancing in the future after the surgery. Knowing Coco Lee's declining mental health, her family always had someone by her side.

On July 2, Coco told her family that she wanted to lie down after dinner. Later, the maid discovered the singer in critical condition in the bathroom. Coco Lee's mother called an ambulance and informed her two sisters. Because she had fallen into a coma before arriving at the hospital, Coco Lee could not wake up.
Coco Lee's sister confided: "My father passed away when my mother was only 40 years old and before she gave birth to Coco Lee. Over the years, my mother raised the three of us by herself. Now that Coco Lee is like this, how can my mother live? Over the past few days, our family has been truly sad. My sister always carries antidepressants with her, but in the end, she could not overcome this disease."
The family said that Coco Lee did not leave a will. Currently, the family is actively preparing for Coco Lee's funeral. They also denied negative news related to the death of the Hong Kong diva. "Please do not speculate about the cause of Coco Lee's death. I hope the public will only remember her talent and her radiant smile," said Coco Lee's sister.
The singer's sister revealed that the family plans to hold a traditional funeral for Coco Lee. However, they have not yet set a date for the funeral. The family wants to hold a private memorial service so that friends and fans can come to say goodbye to the singer born in 1975.

According to HK01, before her death, Coco Lee made a will, specifically designating the heirs of her estate. The singer decided to leave all her assets to her mother. According to Ibtimes, Hong Kong's top singer owns assets of about 5 million USD, including savings, real estate, company shares and revenue from music products.
According to Sina, Coco Lee and her husband have not divorced. Therefore, businessman Bruce Rockowitz still has the right to inherit the singer's assets even though he is not named in the will. On July 6, the singer's husband was in Hong Kong to see his wife for the last time.
According to music producer Trinh Tai Doan, Coco Lee was diagnosed with breast cancer at the beginning of the year, in addition to long-term depression. She hid it from her elderly mother and fought the cancer with the support of her sister.
The singer underwent surgery to remove the tumor but refused chemotherapy. Trinh Tai Doan revealed that since the singer discovered she had a serious illness, Coco Lee's husband did not visit or pay attention to his wife because he was busy working abroad. Bruce's two stepchildren also gradually distanced themselves from their stepmother when her marriage with her businessman husband fell apart.
Trinh Tai Doan painfully admitted that Coco Lee's greatest wish and desire in life was to have a child with her businessman husband. The couple got married in 2011 but had no children together. Since 2018, Coco Lee and her husband have undergone artificial insemination 9 times but were unsuccessful.

Coco Lee is 18 years younger than her husband and dated him for nearly 8 years before getting married. Coco Lee and businessman Bruce's marriage was very sweet in the early years of their marriage. However, since 2020, the couple has begun to face cracks.
According to the singer's friends, Coco Lee's husband was caught cheating, but the singer still forgave him and tried to save the marriage. It was not until 2022 that the couple decided to live separately. Bruce lives in the US while the 48-year-old singer lives in Hong Kong (China).
"Enduring physical pain, lacking emotional support, and the fact that Coco Lee never had the child she wanted were consecutive blows that made her heart ache," Trinh Tai Doan shared about Coco Le's condition before she passed away.
After hearing the news of singer Coco Lee’s sudden death at the age of 48, many Chinese and Asian stars posted statuses expressing their emotions and sending condolences to the singer’s family. To them, Coco Lee was a talented, hard-working, energetic artist who always strived to inspire many generations of juniors.
Coco Lee (born 1975) is one of the most famous singers in Asia with many famous songs, including A Love Before Time in the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon directed by Ang Lee. Coco Lee is also the first Chinese singer to be invited to perform at the Oscars.
