Female Asian Celebrities Who Died Too Young in 2009

I came across an post in a Chinese forum that listed the East Asian female celebrities who died in 2009. Each of the starlets died way before their time. Hopefully, they have now found peace wherever they are.

Listed in chronological order according to their death dates:

1. February 20, 2009 - Pan Xing Yi (潘星谊)


Pan Xing Yi was not yet very famous when she passed away. An actress from China, she filmed most of her movies and tv series from there.

On that fateful day of February 20, 2009, Pan Xing Yi was at home when she slipped and broke the fish aquarium. The glass from the tank shattered and pierced her artery, causing almost immediate death.

A notable incident occurred between Deric Wan, the famous Hong Kong celebrity and actor, and Pan Xing Yi back in January 13, 2009. In order to promote a new haristyle chain of salons of which Deric owned shares, Deric staged a pretend wedding with Pan Xing Yi as his "bride". The papparzi at that time were going crazy with speculation on his love life.
