TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Fans of Taiwanese TV commentator and journalist Liu Chun-yao (劉駿耀) were shocked to learn today that he died last night at the age of 52 from pancreatic cancer, reported Apple Daily.
A doctor, who preferred to remain anonymous, told Apple Daily that Liu had been suffering from advanced stage pancreatic cancer. Over the past two years, Liu had been receiving several series of treatments at Tri-Service General Hospital in Taipei’s Zhongzheng District.
The doctor said his condition changed six months ago and his health started to deteriorate rapidly over the past month. On his last Facebook post uploaded on Feb. 6, Liu thanked everyone for their birthday wishes.
Five weeks ago, a netizen claimed to have seen Liu at a shopping mall recently and felt that he was “too thin and looked unhealthy.” Four weeks ago, another netizen wrote, “I haven’t seen you for a long time. Our office staff misses you very much.”
