By William Hetherington / Staff writer, with CNATaiwanese-Canadian model and actor Godfrey Gao (高以翔) died yesterday after experiencing sudden cardiac arrest while filming a reality show in China’s Zhejiang Province. Gao was unconscious for about three minutes before people realized that his heart had stopped, a source familiar with the matter said, asking to remain anonymous. Participants in the show, produced by Zhejiang Television (浙江衛視), must run through Ningbo’s central business district at night, while being chased. Several camera operators focused on Gao after he collapsed, as they initially thought that Gao’s collapse was planned content for the episode, the report said. Asked for more information, Zhejiang Television told Tencent Holdings (騰訊) and Sina Corp (新浪) — which manage Weibo — that it would update them when more information was available.
