The death of Chinese actor Yu Menglong has triggered a wave of speculation that now stretches beyond law-enforcement circles into spiritual forums in the United States and Taiwan, as self-proclaimed mediums and astrologers advance competing claims about ritual abuse, organ-related mistreatment, and gag orders in China's entertainment industry. Official authorities in China have released no substantive updates, leaving a vacuum increasingly filled by metaphysical interpretations and online crowdsourcing efforts.
The sharpest turn in the narrative emerged on 19 November, when American medium Kandis Starr released what she described as her fourth EVP-based communication session with the late actor. Starr told viewers the session caused "nausea" and described the energy as "unusually heavy," framing her review as a collaborative effort in which followers replay short audio segments searching for identifiable phrases.
Starr said the audio referenced themes including "illegal imprisonment," "organ-related abuse," "money laundering," "ritualistic violence," and threats to "the safety of entertainers." She claimed the recording included moments in which Yu "cried" and suggested he had been "thrown out of a window." According to Starr, the death resembled a "hunting game," which she interpreted as ritualistic in nature.
A recurring element of her interpretation centered on a missing USB device. Starr claimed Yu referred to a drive containing "evidence of money laundering" and alleged that individuals involved believed "he had swallowed the drive," leading to severe beatings before he was thrown out of a building. She further stated that Yu said his family never received his remains and that his body might have been displayed in a "museum," adding that she heard references to his body being "cut" and that those responsible were "satisfied."
Starr asserted that the name "Xin Qi" appeared multiple times in her analysis. She also claimed that Yu referenced actor Guo Junchen as "alive but unwell," and noted alleged danger involving actress Chen Duling. Crowdsourced listeners reported hearing other names, including "Fan Shiqi," "Cheng Qingsong," and "Jiguang Guang," although these identifications remain unverified.
The medium also addressed Yu's family, saying the audio included the statement "she's not okay" regarding his mother, followed later by "she should be okay." She said Yu stated he had no children but added the cryptic line "they forced us to have children," which Starr interpreted as a reference to potential future harm.
While Starr's claims circulated widely online, a separate set of allegations emerged from Taiwanese astrologer Lee Ching-Wei, who argued that the "truth" is hidden "behind the gates of time" but predicted a major exposure period between March and May 2026. Lee said current celestial alignments signal a period of "collective awakening and confrontation," describing recent planetary positions in Scorpio as a "pressure cooker" influencing leaders, scandals, and revelations. She stated that evidence in 2026 would show Yu's death was "manufactured," and warned that those responsible would face karmic consequences in what she called "the year when divine fire illuminates the world."
Additional commentary came from feng shui practitioner Ma Xian, who alleged that China's entertainment sector received sweeping gag orders preventing any mention of Yu Menglong's name, calling the silence so extreme that "even his name cannot be mentioned." Ma warned that Yu's death could "provoke the anger of deities" and claimed that "evil may rise high, but a single call for justice can still create an inch of righteousness strong enough to overcome the darkness."
