Kenneth Tsang, an actor best known internationally for films such as Die Another Day and Rush Hour 2, has reportedly died after being found in a COVID-19 quarantine hotel.

According to the South China Morning Post, the 86-year-old was undertaking seven days of mandated quarantine after returning from Singapore.

The outlet says he was discovered on the floor of his hotel room by staff on 27 May.

No cause of death has been given, but he had reportedly tested negative for COVID-19 and had no underlying medical conditions.

Hong Kong and China have been dealing with a huge surge in COVID-19 infections by shutting down large parts of major cities and confining citizens to apartment blocks and hotels.
