That is absolutely terrible. Some people initially unsure of it's accuracy as UK media were reporting he had collapsed and taken to hospital and the UK media (at the time of writing) haven't announced his passing, but Chinese sources have.

Unfortunately I'm guessing he has died, horrific news and at only 30 is just terrible.
