Hong Kong actor Adam Cheng Siu-Chau has now been struck with a tragedy as his oldest daughter, Angelina Cheng On-yee, was recently found dead at her home in Southern California, USA.

Her church members discovered the 55-year-old, and it has been reported that she took her own life.

According to Chinese media, On-yee had gone missing between 26 and 27 September, and her friends had grown concerned as she was allegedly struggling with a complicated love triangle.

Officers then forcibly entered her residence in California and discovered her lifeless body on the premises.

They tried to contact On-yee’s mother, Lo Wai Yu, but as they could not reach her, they quickly reported the matter to the police.

On-yee’s church members then turned to Cheng, requesting he reach out to them to make arrangements for her passing.

They reportedly held a memorial mass for the 55-year-old on 30 September at the St. Bridget Chinese Catholic Church.

Cheng’s wife has told Chinese media via text: “We are understanding and processing (the situation)!”

However, no further comment has been given from the family.

Love, Loss, And The Greed Of Man

On-yee was born to Lo and Cheng in 1968 before the actor’s second marriage to Hong Kong comedian Lydia Shum.

The duo fell in love after meeting at a TVB acting class.

Unfortunately, when they broke up three years later, Lo took On-yee with her, and as a result, On-yee never really knew her dad.

Cheng once mentioned that he had no contact with his eldest daughter, which saddened him.

After they separated, Lo raised On-yee by herself, though Cheng funded her college education.

But On-yee eventually understood and forgave the circumstances surrounding her parents’ separation.

She allegedly took the initiative to meet with her dad during his performance in Las Vegas a few years ago.

Cheng has gained significant popularity and a devoted fan base in Malaysia.

In addition to his acting prowess, it is worth mentioning that Adam Cheng is an accomplished actor and a talented singer.
