Yu Menglong, also known as Alan Yu, passed away on September 11, 2025, at the age of 37. Initial reports and official statements said that the cause of death was that he fell from a building in Beijing‘s Chaoyang district and that police had ruled out criminal involvement. This announcement sparked widespread speculation and rumors on social media.
The mother of Yu Menglong issued a statement clarifying the circumstances of his death. She confirmed that her son’s fatal fall was accidental and occurred after he had been drinking alcohol. She urged the public to view the incident rationally and to refrain from further speculation to respect the family’s grief.
However, despite the official statements, doubts and conspiracy theories emerged online. Some reports suggested a potential cover-up and alleged that his death was not accidental. In response, authorities detained individuals accused of spreading false information regarding his death. Weibo also took action by removing a significant amount of content, suspending accounts, and disabling comment functions to combat the spread of rumors.
The official ruling from authorities is that Yu Menglong ‘s death was accidental, resulting from a fall while consuming alcohol. While his mother's statement supports this conclusion, the initial wave of speculation underscores the public’s interest and the complexities surrounding the event.
