He faces charges related to firearms and explosives. After overdosing on medication, he suffered convulsions and fixed gaze while being transferred to the prison, which led to his hospitalization on 11 May 2026, as previously reported.
Currently, Ming Chen Sun remains in the intensive care unit (ICU) on the second floor of the hospital. The hospital has declined to disclose his latest condition but has informed the Correctional Department, which has been requested to be the official source of any information regarding his health status.
