The death of Taiwan actress Xu Weilun was confirmed on Saturday night
after she fell into a coma following a fatal car accident.
The 28-year-old actress was sitting in the front seat of a Mini
Cooper when the car smashed into a protective fence on an expressway,
then hit by a van from behind. Xu's assistant reportedly drove the
car, but only sustained minor injuries.
Xu Weilun's head was seriously fractured and she fell into a deep
coma after the accident. Xu died of hydrocephalus.
Xu's parents and many friends, including Ariel Lin Yichen, Zhao
Shanwei and her ex-boyfriend Lee Wei, stayed at the hospital to
accompany her.
The star, once nominated for a Golden Bell award for best
supporting actress, was also known for her love affairs with ex-
boyfriends Lee Wei and Vic Zhou Yumin.

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.

I *still* can't find her in IMDb, leading me to think she may have been one of
those people who are "famous for being famous"...there's a thread about her at
www.chinesemusicblog.com, though, apparently started right after the
accident....
Did she have time in her career to record the obligatory CD that all Asian
pop-culture stars have to make?...r
