a favorite haunt, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. When he didn’t show, Chan called Leslie, who
was on the terrace of the hotel’s 24 th floor gym. He said he’d meet her outside, he’d be right
down. It as a final tease – a sick joke, really – for when Chan came out she found hi body on
the pavement. He had leapt to his death. – Richard Corliss, Time April 14, 2003.
