[People News] The sudden death of mainland Chinese actor Yu Menglong, despite official censorship and the deletion of posts — and even after Yu’s mother publicly declared the cause of death as an accidental fall due to intoxication — has not stopped netizens from relentlessly questioning the truth. Yu’s mentor, well-known Taiwanese agent Sun Derong, believes that pressure from high-level authorities may have already buried the truth of the incident, leaving the bereaved family with no choice but to endure silently.
At 9:31 p.m. on September 16, Yu Menglong’s studio posted an update in the form of an image. The picture contained a letter from Yu’s mother addressed to “friends who care about Yu Menglong,” stating that her son died from “an accidental fall after drinking.”
Sun Derong expressed deep sympathy for Yu’s mother, saying that outsiders may not fully understand the immense pressure exerted by various forces.
He further pointed out that the guest list of those present at the gathering that night has never been made public, which is highly suspicious. He bluntly stated: “This is a very sophisticated tactic — shifting the blame onto the deceased, while keeping all those present completely silent. What are they so afraid of?” Sun believes that high-level pressure has likely suppressed the truth, forcing the family into helpless acceptance. He stressed that “justice has already died,” but added meaningfully: “One day, the truth will come to light, because even Heaven cannot bear to watch.” He urged society not to stop asking questions and expressed hope that the incident would eventually be given a fair explanation.
After Yu’s death, Sun Derong was among the first to speak out, saying he treated Yu like his own son. He insisted he must be involved in investigating and pursuing the truth of the matter.
Yu’s mother’s statement failed to quell public debate — instead, it made the case even murkier. From Weibo to PTT to Dcard, countless netizens have raised suspicions that there is more behind the story. Some pointed to possible struggle marks at the scene, a ripped metal screen, the unusually rapid cremation, and the mother’s “unnaturally calm” statement. Rumours even spread that Yu had been forced to drink, refused to submit to casting-couch demands, and was silenced. The case is increasingly viewed as bizarre.
Below are the six major doubts raised by netizens, each chilling to consider:
Suspicion 1: Visible scratch marks on the window, ripped metal screen, and unnaturally damaged
Photos from the scene show arched scratch marks outside the window frame, and the entire metal screen torn away with unnaturally neat edges. Since such a screen cannot be easily destroyed barehanded, this sparked speculation of a “struggle” or “outside intervention.”
Suspicion 2: Fear of heights, yet fell from a building? Motive doesn’t add up
Friends revealed Yu had a fear of heights and would rarely approach balconies or windows, making an “accidental fall” highly unlikely. On the evening before the incident, around 9 p.m., he was still online and in contact with a production team, appearing completely normal — which further undermines the “accident” claim.
Suspicion 3: Scheduled to record at CCTV the next day, ruling out the suicide motive
On the day of the fall, Yu was scheduled for a CCTV recording, and he still had multiple upcoming dramas set to air. His career was rebounding. Unless it was a sudden accident, he had no apparent reason to take his own life.
Suspicion 4: Forced drinking and harassment rumours at a gathering
Multiple sources claim Yu attended an industry gathering that night, where he may have been forced to drink and even faced sexual harassment. One whistleblower alleged that a certain director, “Xin Qi,” present at the event, was related to a CCP high-level family. Soon after, related information online was massively deleted.
Suspicion 5: Rapid cremation and no memorial service spark doubts
The body was quickly cremated, and no public memorial service was held. Yu’s mother’s statement was criticised as being “too calm, like an official script.” This fueled suspicion of external pressure.
Suspicion 6: Blacklisted for rejecting casting-couch demands, comeback muted before sudden death
As early as 2020, Yu was rumoured to have been blacklisted for refusing “industry hidden rules.” Once a leading actor, he was reduced to minor roles, his resources cut off. After three years in obscurity, he had just begun reappearing when he suddenly died under strange circumstances — leading to speculation that this was retribution for his refusal to comply.
Yu Menglong’s mysterious fall and death have set off a wave of public suspicion. While Beijing police continue to insist it was “an accidental fall after drinking,” online communities have flooded with explosive claims involving political elites and entertainment figures — a sharp contrast to the official narrative.
Rumours range from “Yu being forced to drink and assaulted,” to “a director connected to top-level children being involved,” to “the mass deletion of related content after the incident.” In contrast, the unusual silence of official media guidance has struck many as “even more terrifying,” deepening the sense of mystery around the case. △
