According to Shin Min Daily News, he suffered a heart attack at home on Oct 28.

His daughter Liang Huiping, 48, said at his wake on Oct 30 that he suffered from the "three highs" of chronic conditions - high blood sugar, high blood pressure and high cholesterol - and had been taking long-term medication for high blood pressure.

"He didn't like to trouble other people, so he didn't tell us he was unwell," she told Shin Min. "His death was very sudden for us."
