Coco Lee, a Chinese-American vocalist and songwriter who became famous for performing the soundtrack to the animated film Mulan, committed suicide. On 2 July, she committed suicide and was taken to hospital. For three days, doctors fought for the star's life, but on 5 July, she died without waking up from her coma.

The tragic news was shared on Facebook by the singer's sisters. They said that Lee had been suffering from depression for several years. Despite the fact that the artist was constantly visiting psychologists, she was unable to cope with this condition (to see photos and videos, scroll to the end of the page).

"To all the fans and friends who love Coco Lee. It is with great sadness that we would like to share some sad news with you. Coco suffered from depression a few years ago. Recently, her condition worsened. She attempted suicide at home on 2 July. She was then taken to hospital. She remained in a coma for several days. Despite the efforts of doctors, Coco died on 5 July. In 2023, it would have been 30 years since Coco's debut. She brought us endless joy with her singing," the celebrity's relatives wrote in a post.

Back in 1998, Walt Disney Pictures invited celebrities to sing the soundtrack and voice Mulan in the Mandarin version of the Disney animated film of the same name. In 2021, Coco re-recorded a version of the song to celebrate the release of Mulan.

"She has worked hard to open up a new world for Chinese singers in international music. We are proud of her. We are grateful to God for giving us such a good angel. We hope that she has now gone to a happier place and is no longer suffering from depression. We know that you will not only miss Coco, but will also remember her radiant smile and kindness," the sisters wrote.

By the way, Lee also performed A Love Before Time from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon at the 73rd Academy Awards. She became the first Chinese American to perform at the event.

Recently, OBOZREVATEL wrote that the popular Indian actress Tunisha Sharma committed suicide during the filming of the series Ali Baba: Warrior Legend". The 20-year-old star was found dead in her dressing room. It is assumed that the breakup with her lover influenced the girl's decision to end her life.
