Beijing police have detained three women in Yu Menglong’ death controversy. Read on to know the entire matter.
Beijing police have detained three women for spreading false rumors on social media regarding the death of renowned Chinese actor Yu Menglong. The 37 years old actor Yu Menglong died on September 11, 2025 after falling from a residential building in Beijing. After his death, various speculations and conspiracy theories have been going viral on social media.
What did the police investigation say about Yu Menglong’s death?
Many people, instead of treating it as a normal accident, attributed it to a larger conspiracy. To quell the rumors, the actor’s management team released a statement from his mother on September 16th. In this statement, the mother clearly stated that Yu Menglong accidentally fell from a height after drinking alcohol. The police also completed their investigation and informed the family of the same information. Subsequently, on September 21st, the Chaoyang branch of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau clarified the cause of death on its official Weibo account, stating that it was an accident and not a criminal conspiracy.
