Coco Lee, the actress and singer known for voicing Mulan in the Mandarin version of Disney’s “Mulan,” has tragically died by suicide.

Her sisters, Carol and Nancy, revealed that she attempted suicide at home on Sunday, July 2, and was then hospitalized. Despite efforts to save her life, she slipped into a coma and passed away on Wednesday, July 5.

Coco had been battling depression for years, and despite seeking professional help, her condition worsened significantly in the last few months, leading to her tragic decision.

In addition to her work with Disney, Coco also performed an Oscar-nominated song, “A Love Before Time,” in the movie “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” showcasing her three-decade long career as a singer.

The 48-year-old actress, who was born in Hong Kong and attended middle and high school in San Francisco where she was crowned 1991’s Miss Teen Chinatown, was a trailblazer for Chinese artists in the international music scene. Her song “Do You Want My Love” even peaked at No. 4 on Billboard’s Hot Dance Breakout chart in 1999.

Her family remembers her as someone who tirelessly worked to bring Chinese singers into the international music spotlight, and who went all out in representing the Chinese community.
