Taiwanese actress Hsu Wei-lun (許瑋倫) passed away yesterday, 43 hours after she was admitted into the ChengChingHospital following a car crash, doctors said.
Hsu, 28, suffered excessive trauma to the head from a car accident late Friday night, causing cerebral hemorrhage and swelling.
Doctors said Hsu’s condition worsened at 5:09 p.m. last night. The severely injured actress went into cardiac arrest, and doctors were unable to revive her even after more than two hours of emergency treatment. She passed away at 7:37 p.m., the hospital said.
Hsu entered showbusiness five years ago, impressing critics by taking on challenging roles in various TV dramas over the years. She won the best supporting actress from the Golden Bell Award in her first year in the entertainment industry.
Hospital spokesperson Wu Chien-chi said Hsu’s pupil remained dilated and her cerebral pressure high despite doctors’ efforts in the past two days to reduce the pressure from the excessive accumulation of water in the brain.
The actress’ family and friends stayed close to Hsu while the actress fought to live. Sources close to the family said Hsu’s mother cried outside the room and said she was willing to give away 30 years of her life in exchange for her daughter’s recovery. Meanwhile, Hsu’s father went to Pingtung to conduct a blessing ceremony in the hope of extending his daughter’s life.
Local entertainers urged the general public to pray for the injured Hsu.
Newspapers reported that Hsu’s assistant, surnamed Lin, who was the driver of the vehicle, suffered an emotional meltdown and a minor injury, and was unable to go through an investigation.
Late Friday night, the car that Hsu and Lin were riding in crashed into a guard rail on the National Expressway No.1. The vehicle skidded and came to a halt between the freeway shoulder and outermost lane, but moments later it was hit by a truck from behind. The National Highway Police Bureau has yet to confirm that Lin was indeed the driver in the car accident, but said it needs more time to investigate and to clear the suspicious points of the case.
It’s been such a long time since I have post anything on my blog. Been rather busy lately. Got involved in the university’s degree show graduation work. Open house fund raising. Work – in – Progress Exhibition (Frankly not really involved in that. JS helped us out on that). And was too tied up with my Masters Thesis project. Gosh! I looked back at the calendar last night. D-Day is set on the March 24th. It’s on a Saturday.
Sometimes, I hate that the month flies with just a blink. I realised that time’s just not enough for a day. 12 hours of daylight, 12 hours of night. This is just not enough. And the strangest thing is that, I came especially active when it comes to design at night. Daylight, I would just spend my time reading, organising my stuffs, so on and so forth.
Mental block! Stuck is the word to use. Got Stuck! And still Stuck! I’m not sure what’s happening really. Maybe that happens to many design students, I suppose. I’m bet the design genius got that problem too. Hear stories about life in AA from Pete. Hear stories of reading Masters in the States from KN.
BREAKING NEWS!
Taiwan actress Xu Wei Lunpassed away at 7.37pm on Sunday (January 28). Her heartbeat stopped at 5.09pm and the doctors didn’t manage to get her back after 2 hours of rescue. Wei Lun met with a car accident on Friday night and couldn’t recover from her head injury. She suffered internal breeding in her skull. It’s sad to see her died at such a young age; she’s a good actress and got some good talents… she was actually planning to release her debut album later this year. I bet her fans will be sad with the tragic lost, just like I do. I understand how her family feels. We have been through that before, when Pete met with an accident. The fortunate thing is that Pete came around and recovered within a month despite a serious accident. But Wei Lun did not. She left this world at a young age. Can’t help but feel sad about it. Really, I want to ask, why this world is so come to terms with that! No matter how hard I tried! Venerable once told me that nothing is permanent in this world. But Venerable isn’t this so cruel! Why! Gosh, this spoils my Monday morning!
