Golden Bell Award in 2013.[1] She hanged herself on July 6, 2015, and died from her injuries on July 18, 2015. Yang was posthumously nominated for another Golden Bell in 2015, but with The New World, this time as a Best Leading Actress.[2]
Early life
Yang graduated from Taipei Hwa Kang Private Art School. She suffered from
heart disease, stomach problems, and frequent depression and needed long-term medication.[3]
Death
In 2014, Yang had a suicide attempt by sedatives overdose. On July 6, 2015, her boyfriend, Chang Ting-hu, found her hanging in their home. She was treated at Cathay General Hospital in Taipei, where she died on July 18, 2015. Per her last wish in a note she left, her family donated her organs.[4] Her funeral was held on August 4 in Taipei.[5] Days prior to her death, she posted two covers of songs hours before her passing. She had been criticized by directors for her extreme interpretation of method acting, by way of simulated suicides, smoking and drug use despite poor medical history, for acting research purposes before.[6]
