In less than a month, from late November to mid-December, at least ten middle-aged celebrities passed away in China. Many are wondering if their deaths are connected to the outbreak of respiratory illnesses that have overwhelmed Chinese hospitals.
Among these celebrities, except for one who has just turned 60, the others are all under 60, with four in their forties.
