TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Oren Chang (張誌軒), a 23-year-old Taiwanese model, passed away after a workout on Monday (March 15).
Chang was represented by the well-known Taiwanese modeling agency Catwalk Production House. He often shared work and travel photos on social media along with clips of himself singing.
According to Chang's Instagram story on Tuesday posted by his sister, Chang passed out after a workout Monday night, and his heart stopped on the way to the hospital.
The rising star died of cardiovascular obstruction caused by aortic dissection, according to the family.
Chang's sister has urged people to refrain from contacting her parents, but they may reach out to her directly, she said, if they wish to send condolences.
"I will handle the work-related business first and get back to the rest later. Please give us time to deal with the funeral and more," she said.
CatWalk mourned the loss on Facebook Tuesday, saying, “This time you leave us first, but from now on, the image of you stays with us forever. Keep singing in heaven.”
活潑如你，總是用那迷人的微笑 渲染了周遭身邊的每一個人 明亮如你，總是帶著鮮活的歌聲 溫暖了有你相伴的每一段時光 這次，你很調皮地先走了一步 從今以後你的身影，停在我們的想念裡 誌軒，在天上的你… 依舊要繼續歌唱，做一個魅力四射的天使! #張誌軒
