Hong Kong media said Lai had been suffering from depression for about 20 years and had been undergoing regular treatments.

Lai, who usually posted snippets of her life on social media, shared photos of a party with her friends and family on social media on Dec 25. However, Dr Hui received a WhatsApp message from her on Dec 26 morning, in which she reportedly wrote: “See you in the next life.” He rushed to her apartment and found her unconscious.

Her death was confirmed by Low, 64, when he was approached by Hong Kong media. Low, a former member of the Jackie Chan Stunt Team, said he last spoke to Lai by phone two weeks ago.
