GOODBYE, LYDIA SUM
Lydia Shum passed away this morning
Entertainer Lydia Shum passed away this morning in Queen Mary Hospital at 60-years-old. For many years Lydia has been suffering diabetes, high blood pressure, liver cancer, etc. Earlier on she received a bile duct operation.
The veteran actress, known affectionately to her fans as "Fei Fei", had been criticised by the Hong Kong media for worsening her medical condition by consuming certain foods against doctors’ orders.
She was rushed to the hospital again last August, having suffered from pleural effusion - a complication of liver failure. But the beloved comedian braved her failing health to attend the 40th TVB Anniversary Awards ceremony in November.
