Local comedy icon MC King collapses and dies

LOCAL celebrity Lan Qinxi, more popularly known as MC King, has died after he experienced breathing difficulties while at home earlier on Friday.

He was 40.

His friends told MediaCorp Radio that he died at about 1 pm at Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

A MediaCorp report said it is not known if the well-known actor had suffered from any health problems. But in his last entry he posted on his blog on New Year's Eve, Mr Nah had wished for good health in the coming year.

Local director Jack Neo, who had worked with Mr Nah on several productions, said he was shocked when told of his sudden death.

"All along, he's very, very healthy. So, I don't know why. I seriously don't know why," Mr Neo was qouted as saying.

Mr Nah had acted in a couple of local movies, including Neo's "Just Follow Law", as well as a number of local drama serials.
