As reported on Oriental Daily, the TVB actor, known for classics such as "Hong Kong 81" and "A Kindred Spirit", was revealed to have breathed his last in hospital on the night of 25 May.
Confirming the news, Hong Kong actor English Tang said that Johnny had been frequenting the doctors prior to his passing due to his heart and respiratory issues.
It is noted that Johnny had been battling squamous cell carcinoma, and was supported by wife Fok Kit Ching throughout his illness.
