IT came as a shock to most people, and no wonder. Leslie Cheung, arguably one of Asia’s top entertainers, dived off a balcony and created headlines of a different kind for all too brief a moment. The rest is history, but during the furore over his suicide, intense media and public scrutiny focused on the supposed reasons for his abrupt end – a love triangle, what more with homosexual overtones.
To some sections of the media, this does not get any juicier – a bona fide star, love and jealousy, homoeroticism. Unfortunate, but all too true. Some say he was too sensitive for his own good. Many theories have been put forward, most having to deal with his love life. But in the end, and literally, it was the end, the culprit is depression.
