IPOH – The Malaysian student who fell to his death in Taipei, apparently while taking selfies dressed in a Spider-Man costume, was well known among his lecturers and peers as a cosplay fan.
According to tabloid portal Appledaily.com, Lee Yang Hao, 29, loved cosplay and had worn the costume to class before, so many teachers and students knew of his hobby.
The student of Changhua county’s Da-Yeh University was found dead on Wednesday night (Jan 3) outside the men’s dormitory, Taiwan’s Central News Agency reported.
He is believed to have fallen from the fifth floor of the building, the agency said.
A childhood friend here said Lee only entered his Spider-Man phase after going to Taiwan four years ago.
Vanness Fan, 31, said Lee joined the “Zhu Zhu Tuan” or Spider Troupe, a cosplay group devoted to the web-slinger, while doing his studies there.
“For as long as I have known him, he was never into Spider-Man – until he went to Taipei.
