Hotel staff discovered Tsang’s death, 87, two days following his return from Singapore, according to several media outlets, including “Now News”, “South China Morning Post” and “Oriental Daily”.
The police announced that they had received a report that hotel staff had found a “body”.
The accident report said the deceased was an 87-year-old man named Tsang.
Tsang’s film career spanned six decades, with more than 200 roles listed on IMDB.
Although his serious beginnings were in the sixties of the twentieth century, he embodied his most prominent roles in the golden age of cinema in Hong Kong in the eighties and nineties in films such as “The Killer”, “Super Cup” and “Once a Thief”.
He was also one of the few Hong Kong stars of that era who broke into Hollywood and took on supporting roles, mostly portraying villains, including “Replacment Killers” and “Day Another Day” in the James Bond series.
Tsang had said in a recent interview with “Sin Chu Daily” that he had just returned via Singapore from a two-week trip to Malaysia. “I will adhere to the quarantine if necessary,” he added.
