This unexpected event has cast us into deep mourning. The authorities have updated me on their investigation, and arrangements for his funeral have been finalized. I urge everyone to approach this incident with reason and refrain from further speculation.

Finally, I hope he finds eternal peace in heaven. Thank you once again to everyone for your support and to those who have assisted us during this time.
Netizens raise concerns about foul play
A now-removed Weibo post suggested that on September 10, Yu dined at a friend's residence with five or six others. Around 2 AM, he secured one of the rooms and went to sleep. When his friends decided to leave at 6 AM, they discovered Yu's body on the ground floor. A neighbor walking his dog stumbled upon the lifeless body and alerted the authorities.
