There are many rumors about the death that we cannot verify. But there are some facts out there that can be:
- "About 150 residents in the complex have sold their apartments below market value." The complex is referred to as Sunshine Upper East residential complex or 阳光上东. Look for a real estate website to see the current listings and sales. Price is computed by square meter. Sales below market value checks out but I'm no expert and not from China either (please do your own research), but maybe someone out there would be able to provide better insight than I can. The reason for the sales is completely debatable.
- The official statement is that he accidentally fell from a building. After seeing the window YML fell from, I have reason to believe it's impossible in the first place. First of all, the height of the bottom half of the window is quite high. Even if you tip over somehow, it would take a lot of upper body force to just fall over. Second, the frame of the window is very close to each other. If you tip over, it would be easy to prevent the fall totally by grabbing on either side. Third, there was a mosquito screen installed. It would have to have been removed prior for anything to fall through.
- The police claims that this death was an accident, but everything about him is being deleted online. Whether this is true or not is verifiable. So far, we have confirmation that Weibo had removed more than 100,000 pieces of prohibited content, suspended or closed over 1,000 accounts, and disabled the comment function for more than 15,000 accounts. I read somewhere that even videos celebrating his past works have been deleted (I personally cannot confirm or deny as I'm not on any Chinese social media platforms but I imagine someone who is can).
As for the video/audio media being circulated, I'm personally unable to identify anyone. There are no clear shots of YML's face or any of the possible perpetrators. The people that were identified were done so through similar clothing or accessories only. Most of the news coming out now are coming from a single online source with no way to verify all their story. I just want to say, to all my fellow fans, to remain vigilant and not believe information you cannot verify. There is definitely a reason to believe foul play but not everything coming out may be the truth (people looking for clout can easily make shit up to gain momentary fame and traffic).

"Shadow captured from video through peephole strongly resembles her and her phone, she hangs out with the two guy that got their photo taken at the scene of the crime."
If it's true that she was at the scene, then there is a definite video evidence in her phone of the crime. Whether it has already been deleted or not, it is most likely still retrievable in the hands of a forensics team. It's just that the police are not investigating the case since it was closed almost immediately.
I really hope the truth will come out soon before things get more out of hand. Whether she is involved or not is irrelevant to me. The people who hurt YML needs to pay for their inhumanity. #JusticeforYuMenglong
