Actor and president of the Federation of Hong Kong Filmmakers Tin Kai Man confirmed the news with Apple Daily (translation by 8 Days).


"He had a heart attack at 10pm and passed away. Lam Chung settled in Zhanjiang (Guandong Province, China) in 2010 and we rarely kept in touch in recent years.


"I wasn't aware that he had any illness, so it was a shock when someone notified me of his death.'

Among his notable works include 1987's A Better Tomorrow 2 with Chow Yun Fat and the late Leslie Cheung and Rich And Famous with Chow and Andy Lau.
