Ryan Tang denies his mum is dead, claims she's run away

TAIWANESE actor Ryan Tang has maintained his stance that his mother has not died despite a body being found at her home in New Taipei City last month. Tang, 46, told local media that the body, which was discovered on June 3, was not that of his mother. According to him, his 73-year-old mother had merely run away from home. The Taipei Performing Artists Union said its offer to help Tang had been rejected. Tang's friends said the June 8 deadline was only a reminder issued by local police, and was not the date of cremation. > China Press reported that tickets for Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau's "Today ...
