http://www.sina.com.cn 2003/12/10 15:35  Shanghai Daily

  China's best-known stuntman - who earned his fame jumping a car over both the Great Wall and the Yellow River - died in the city yesterday, perhaps due to an asthma attack caused by drinking too much alcohol, police said.

  Kor shou Liang, 50, was found unconscious at the home of a friend surnamed Xie on Hongqiao Road by his driver and Xie at around 10 am yesterday and was immediately taken to the nearby Shanghai No 6 People's Hospital.

  Hospital officials said Kor was dead on arrival.

  Kor was fully dressed, and there were no signs of violence on his body, police said.

  According to Fang Dinghua, a spokeswoman for the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, Kor took part in three dinner parties between 6 pm on Monday and 4 am yesterday before returning with Xie to Xie's apartment on Hongqiao Road.

  "Surplus consumption of alcohol may have led to his asthma attack," said Fang.

  Kor's body was sent to Shanghai Longhua Funeral Home yesterday afternoon and his son has flownsintosthe city to set up funeral arrangements.

  Kor arrived in the city to shoot an advertisement last week. He told reporters he was planning a nationwide singing and stunt show beginning next May, with the first stop set for Shanghai.Xie dongna, a well-known model, said Kor was at her book-launch party on Saturday.

  "It is such a strike to all of us. It is terribly painful. I still can't believe it," Xie said.

  Kor, or Blackie as many of his fans called him, hailed from Zhejiang Province, but he began his career as a stuntman in Taiwan in 1970. He won a small measure of fame by jumping cars over small rivers and various other obstacles, sometimes for charity. He also stared in several films before becoming a successful stuntman.

  His big shot to stardom came in 1992 when he jumped a car over the Great Wall. He followed that up in 1997 with a jump across the Yellow River, the second longest in China, to celebrate Hong Kong's return to Chinese sovereignty - a feat that made him a national hero.

  Kor started his own film production company in 1993.
