The renowned comedy actor Richard Ng Yiu-hon died last Sunday (April 9) due to health complications and old age. 

The Five Lucky Stars franchise actor's doctors called his family and asked them to come to the hospital to say their final goodbyes, as he is in a critical situation. 

According to reports, Ng's heart had stopped, and life support kept him alive. The doctors eventually certified Ng's death by signing a death certificate.

In 2021, Ng disclosed that he only had 10 per cent of his kidney function left and had to undergo dialysis daily. This came after several sicknesses, including heart blockages and hearing loss. 

Ng first gained notoriety when he starred in Michael Hui's comedy film The Private Eyes in 1976. He became famous for his role in Five Lucky Stars (1983).
