Austin Wai's death mystery, Kara Hui: His Death Related to Massive Weight Loss

Austin Wai has been in over 70 films and countless martial arts TV series. A few days ago, he was found dead in his home in Beijing, he was 55. His younger sister, Kara Hui, had always been in touch with him by phone, but lately she lost contact with him.

As everything was so sudden, Kara was initially shooting her last scene in the series she had been working on in Hangzhou, but experiencing the lost of a loved one, Kara immediately stopped work and flew to Beijing to see her brother. Yesterday afternoon at 2pm, Kara appeared at the Beijing airport. She said sobbing: "I'm not going to hotel yet, going to the mortuary to see my brother first. I hope all the formalities will be done today. My sister and I hope to ship our brother's body back to HK, but if the Beijing authorities want us to first cremate the body, we will comply. Actually my brother's children really wants to see their father for the last time too and they will decide the funeral arrangements."

Austin's death is still a mystery, Kara was asked if she knew the cause of his death? She said: "I know he had gone too far with losing weight. He had been over exercising and eating very little. Perhaps he's body couldn't handle it anymore!" Asked if her mother knows about Austin's death? Kara said: "Not yet, we don't want to break her heart!"

In fact, in the past six months before Austin's death, he often made weight loss declarations on Weibo. He hoped to quickly lose 10 pounds within half a month. In May, he already lost 20 pounds, and posted pictures of his vegetarian light meal.
