Godfrey Kao - Biography
Godfrey Gao (Chinese: 高以翔; born September 22, 1984) is a Taiwanese-born Canadian model and actor. He was known for his roles as Magnus Bane in the 2013 film adaptation of The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones and for his leading role in Chinese television series Remembering Lichuan.
On 27 November 2019 at about 1:45 am, Gao collapsed in Ningbo while filming Chase Me, a sports reality television series broadcast on Zhejiang Television. He was taken to a hospital, where after attempts at resuscitation for nearly three hours, he was pronounced dead.
The producers of Chase Me said in a statement that Gao died from cardiac arrest. Gao's death prompted increased scrutiny and criticism of the series, which involves contestants competing in physically strenuous challenges late at night; Gao had reportedly been filming for 17 hours at the time of his collapse. Director and actor Xu Sheng stated that the series' producers "must be held responsible" for what he claimed were poor safety conditions. In a statement on Sina Weibo, Zhejiang Television stated that they were "deeply regretful and sorry for the irreparable and serious consequences that this incident has caused, and are willing to take up responsibility."
