"With a heavy heart, our family would like to share devastating news.
"Coco had been battling depression for several years. Her condition deteriorated rapidly in recent days and she took her own life at home on July 2," Nancy wrote in a Weibo post. The veteran Chinese-American singer was taken to hospital and remained unconscious, and despite the medical team's best efforts, she died three days later on July 5."For the past 29 years, she brought everyone joy with her singing and dancing. Coco also paved a way for Chinese singers on the global stage, our family is immensely proud of her."
"As her family, we are very grateful and honoured to have such an outstanding younger sister," Nancy said, adding, "We hope that Coco has gone to a happier place where she's not suffering from depression anymore." Now their elderly mother is the family's biggest responsibility, Nancy said as she asked for time and space for the family to grieve during this difficult period."Coco didn't stay long with us, but her radiance will live on."
