From The Straits Times:
A China-born porn actress, who played the late porn star Pauline Chan in a biopic, was found dead in a Hong Kong hotel last Friday.
Crystal Sun, 36, was found hanging in the bathroom of her hotel room by rescue personnel after a hotel worker discovered a note saying ‘Someone hanged herself’ on the bathroom door.
She left a suicide note saying she had debts, Apple Daily said. Sources told the newspaper that Sun was a victim of the current financial meltdown.
Her strong resemblance to Chan, who fell to her death at age 29 in a suicide in Shanghai in 2003, led to her playing the porn star in a movie.
Chan was famous for her various outbursts and unruly behaviour before her death.
A native of China’s Shandong province, Sun had a small role with actors Leon Lai and Maggie Cheung in the 1996 movie, Comrades, Almost A Love Story.
She was forced to drop out of the 1999 Miss Asia contest after saucy pictures of her appeared in the media.
