Distraught fans of Hong Kong pop star and actor, Leslie Cheung, have yet to accept his untimely death.
The 46-year-old flamboyant entertainer was believed to have committed suicide over a failed relationship.
As news of entertainer Leslie Cheung's sudden death spread across a shocked Hong Kong, local radio stations played his hit songs, and in the media, the tributes flowed.
It was almost reminiscent of another tragic day at Queen Mary Hospital barely six months ago, when another HK icon passed away.
And now, as then, fans paid their respects, and shared their feelings online.
"It's because of Leslie that I moved here from Japan. I can't believe he's now dead," said one fan.
"He grew up with me, as far back as primary school. I really miss him," said another fan.
Hong Kong police say Leslie Cheung jumped from the 24th floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on Tuesday evening.
He was certified dead in hospital.
Police say they found nothing suspicious about the case.
In fact it has been reported that there was even a suicide note, in which the star allegedly claimed that he was having emotional problems.
Cheung first achieved success as a canto-pop singer and is perhaps best known for his 1981 album "The Wind Blows On."
His popularity throughout Asia quickly led to film roles -- some of the highly aclaimed ones include John Woo's "A Better Tomorrow" and "Farewell My Concubine" which won widespread critical acclaim.
But it was his openly gay characters that became his trademark in his later years.
He came out about his own sexuality after playing one of his most famous roles in the 1997 Wong Kar Wai movie, "Happy Together."
Like the movie, there appears no happy ending here either.
