That's not something to cry about, yes it's sad but he lived until 96.....Thats something to be proud of most of us won't even close to that.

Born in 1913, Shek began practicing martial arts in childhood. During the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong he joined a drama club and turned to show business.
| Source Quote:
Shek Kin came to his acting career with a background in martial arts, rather than the usual opera training. His first teacher seems to have been Chao Lien-cheng, a specialist in Northern Shaolin style who was affiliated with the Chin Woo Association founded by Huo Yuanjia (see Jet Li’s FEARLESS).
Shek eventually became a full time student at the Chin Woo branch in Canton (Guangzhou), where he trained with a well known master named Sun Yu-fung. Sun’s expertise was in do (broadsword or saber) and lohan techniques. In later years Shek described his personal style as mi tsong lohan chuan or "combined lohan fist."* He also studied Chinese wrestling, or shuai jiao, and tan tui (spring leg) kicking techniques. Other teachers included Chao Kuei-lin, who taught him mantis and eagle claw boxing, and Wong Yung-feng, who trained him in the use of an obscure "secret weapon" called piao, which seems to have been a kind of dart.
This eclectic background contributed to his success as a martial arts actor, since it gave him the versatility needed to master the choreography quickly. It makes sense that lohan boxing became Shek’s specialty, since it emphasizes dramatic poses that mimic traditional Buddhist devotional statues - ideal training for an aspiring kung fu performer!

His fighting scenes wouldn't have been as good had he not studied martial arts.

He's Northern Shaolin, which is the same school that i've been training at for the last 15 years. Him and my Si Gung knew each other, since they both were from the same styles and had learned from the same teacher. We've got a few of his old school photos from the 60's at our club.

Wow... RIP. I'm glad to see he made it to 96. Sadly, I only remember him from Enter the Dragon.
