17 Suspects Arrested in the Death of Yu Menglong — Names Include Gao Taiyu & Fan Shiqi
In a dramatic turn in the mysterious case surrounding the sudden death of Chinese actor-singer Yu Menglong, law-enforcement sources reveal that 17 individuals have now been arrested in connection with the incident. Two of the alleged key suspects—Gao Taiyu and Fan Shiqi—are reportedly among those taken into custody.
🕵️ The Incident & the Fallout
Yu Menglong, 37, whose real name is Yu Menglong, passed away in Beijing on September 11 2025. Official statements initially ruled the death an accident due to intoxication after a fall.
However, mounting online speculation, a statement from Yu’s mother alleging foul play and a wave of citizen-investigations have cast doubt on the official narrative.
Now, internal sources claim the arrests are part of a criminal probe into alleged torture, assault and intentional lethal misconduct leading to Yu’s death. The 17 suspects are believed to range from close associates to members of a private gathering that Yu attended shortly before his fall.
👁️ Key Figures: Gao Taiyu & Fan Shiqi
Within the group of 17, two names stand out: Gao Taiyu and Fan Shiqi. Though neither figure has been publicly confirmed by authorities, investigative reporting suggests they held central roles in the events leading up to Yu’s collapse—potentially as organizers of the gathering or as persons of influence within that circle.
Online commentary suggests Fan Shiqi was slated to star alongside Yu in an upcoming project; following his name surfacing in social media discussions, promotions linked to him reportedly saw drastic drops.
📸 Shock, Silence & Social Media Outcry
- Footage reportedly leaked on social platforms seemingly shows Yu Menglong in extreme distress, sparking outrage.
- On September 24, the Chaoyang branch of the Beijing Public Security Bureau announced that over 100,000 posts relating to Yu’s death had been removed and more than 1,000 accounts suspended.
- Loyal fans and independent investigators claim CCTV evidence exists of Yu’s symptoms of torture or prolonged assault—though none of this has been verified by state media.
🔍 What’s Next?
Authorities are reportedly:
- Conducting forensic analysis of Yu’s injuries to determine whether the cause of death was accidental fall or incapacitation from assault.
- Questioning the 17 suspects regarding the timeline of the gathering, Yu’s condition before the fall, and any tampering with evidence.
- Investigating the possibility of a cover-up—especially in light of Yu’s family publicly challenging the “accident” verdict.
🧭 Significance
If verified, this case could represent one of the most explosive scandals in China’s entertainment industry in recent years: a beloved public figure’s death, a network of influential suspects, alleged torture, and potential institutional suppression of truth.
For fans of Yu Menglong, it’s not just a tragic ending—it’s a potential reckoning.
