When someone extraordinarily famous dies (Princess Diana, J.F.K. Jr., Tupac, Notorious B.I.G.), and usually it tends to be life ending at a tragically early age, magazines and newspapers will devote pages to them, print special issues, commemorate to the nth degree. Gothamist asked the Asia-Pacific bureau to take some some pictures of the print media coverage of Leslie Cheung's death.
Official pictures of Leslie Cheung from his family:

This makes me very sad. Yesterday, I had just watched "A Better Tomorrow". Today, just about 20 minutes ago, I went to go see if Leslie Chung was in any other good recent movies. I was very saddend to see that he had commited sucide. My late condoleances go to the Chung family for this very tragic event...
An angel came down to earth
then sudeenly drifted away again,
A beautiful precious sole
in the form of Leslie Cheung
The years they pass us by
and the days may fade away,
But the treasured memories of you
shall forever in our hearts remain!
