Veteran actor Kenneth Tsang died in a quarantine hotel on Wednesday after flying in from Singapore, RTHK has learnt. He was 87.
Sources said Tsang tested negative for Covid-19 on Tuesday, but when health officials went to his room on Wednesday morning, he didn't answer the door.
Police said they received a call around noon from a member of staff at The Kowloon Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui and officers found a body in a room.
Tsang became an actor in the 1950s and played leading roles in many local films in the 1960s.
He played supporting roles next to Chow Yun-fat in popular films in the 1980s, such as A Better Tomorrow and its sequel, and also The Killer.
He arrived on the Hollywood scene in 1998 with a role in The Replacement Killers, and was also a supporting actor in the James Bond film Die Another Day in 2002.
