Kathy Chow Died From A Heart Attack, Death Said To Be “Calm, Peaceful And Without Pain”

The circumstances surrounding the death of HK actress Kathy Chow, who passed away earlier this month (Dec 11) at the age of 57, has finally been revealed.

According to a statement to the media from Kathy’s older sister, the actress passed away from a sudden heart attack that was described as “very calm, peaceful and without pain”.

Kathy’s mum will inherit all the late actress’ assets said to be worth HK$400mil (S$67.4mil)

It was also revealed that a private memorial service had already been held and that Kathy’s mother would bring the actress’s ashes back to Hong Kong.

“We are now looking for a suitable cemetery but will not disclose [its location] nor comment on its related matter in the future,” said Kathy’s sister.

As for Kathy’s multiple pets, including her beloved Golden Retriever Saturday, they have to be left behind in China as Kathy’s mother is advanced in age and does not live in a place suitable to house all of them.

Kathy’s family is also worried that “the animals would not be able to take” Hong Kong’s nearly 10-month quarantine process for animals entering the city.

Instead, Kathy’s furkids will be adopted by the actress’ close friends and are currently being cared for in Beijing.

Kathy’s family also implored the media and fans to respect and stop harassing the family as well as to stop filming outside the actress’ former home.

“The dog [Saturday] still lives there and has developed symptoms of anxiety, and is howling day and night because of the crowd outside filming and conducting live streams,” says Kathy’s sister.
