Musicians Remember Chi Cheng
Chi had been in a semi-conscious state since 2008, when he suffered major injuries and was left in a coma following a violent car accident.
Since then, Chi had been making a slow but steady recovery. In 2009 it was announced that he was no longer in a coma and in a partially conscious state instead. A year later, doctors said that he was showing signs of improvement and had regained the ability to use his legs.
On April 13th, 2013, Chi’s death was announced in a statement posted by his family on Oneloveforchi.com
Here are some of the tweets posted about Chi's passing:
