Coco Lee, singer and actor, dies by suicide at age 48
A post shared by Nancy Si Lin Lee (@nancy_yauyetei) Lee was born in Hong Kong, but raised in San Francisco. After high school, she went back to the city of her birth for a vacation, where she entered a singing contest.
Lee hoped to do nothing more than win pay for banging up her mother’s car in an accident. She won first prize in the contest, and that set the wheels turning on her pop career, the CNN reported.
"Not only did she bring us joy with her songs and dances in the past 29 years, but she also worked hard to break new ground for Chinese singers in the international music scene and has been doing her utmost to shine for the Chinese," Lee's sisters wrote. The singer voiced the lead character in the Mandarin version of Disney's hit film Milan.
She also performed a song from the soundtrack of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon at the 2001 Oscars.
