Yung was found unconscious due to gas inhalation in her apartment on Broadcast Drive, Kowloon on the morning of 14 May 1985. According to her friend (who was rumoured to have begun courting Yung), Stephen Chow Sai-lung, Yung had called him on the night of 13 May 1985. Chow asserted that she was troubled by her failed relationship with Kent Tong Chun-yip. After hanging up, Chow was worried and went to her apartment. However, he could not gain access to her apartment. He then thought that no one was home and left.

Chow returned to Yung's apartment on the morning of 14 May 1985. He knocked on Yung's door again but no one answered. Chow said he smelled gas fumes through Yung's apartment door. He then climbed up the outside wall of the apartment building to her second-floor apartment and pried open her front window. He entered Yung's apartment (from the window) and discovered her unconscious and sprawled on the living room floor. Chow immediately alerted building security and the police. Yung was rushed to the nearby Baptist Hospital in Kowloon where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
