William Hung Dead

Hung may have been used to perpetuate historical American racist stereotypes of Chinese and Asians in general, and Hung may have not gained so much attention had he been of another race. It is possible that the American public's interest for him is entirely innocent and independent of his race, and that he should capitalize on his fame as much as he can. Could his unabashed innocence, honesty and work ethic may have promoted his popularity? There is a lack of positive portrayals of Asian males (particularly Asian-American males) in the U.S. media, and William Hung may serve as a focal point for minority groups.[1] [2] Additionally, Hung's career arose out of others making a mockery of him, and the media exploited him as a joke, rather than as a talented or inspirational figure.[3]
Rumors circulated around the Internet in mid-2004 that Hung had died of a heroin overdose, while sharing a hotel room with a transvestite hooker. Started by a satirical article on Broken Newz written by Bill Doty and Joe the Peacock, the rumor spread far enough that a Singaporean newspaper, The Straits Times, printed an article confirming that he was not dead and would fulfill his tour schedule in that country.

Yes, sadly, William Hung, one of most superb singers of our generation has passed away. His newfound lifestyle of fame and fortune brought his life to an end.

I live in Las Vegas. I think it would have been all over my local stations if it was true. I haven't heard anything about it. So it's more than likely an unfounded rumor.

No sweetie. His career is dead (how many different ways can you sing "She Bangs, She Bangs"). But he's still alive and kicking although figuring out what to do next with his life.
