The Asian pop diva’s family said Lee, who battled depression, died in a hospital on Wednesday after a failed suicide attempt on July 2.
“On 2 July, she committed suicide at home and was sent to the hospital. Despite the best efforts of the hospital team to rescue and treat her from her coma, she finally passed away on 5 July, 2023,” they added.
Born on Jan. 17, 1975 in then British-controlled Hong Kong, Lee made her mark in the U.S. after moving to San Francisco at age 8 with her mother and two sisters. After high school, Lee attended the University of California at Irvine, but her burgeoning pop singing career in Hong Kong eventually won out and she had an eventual commercial breakthrough in Asia.
She rode to the top of the Mandarin and Cantonese pop music markets, and her English-language performances included singing the song “Before I Fall In Love” for theCrouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
