In 2004, a group of people attacked He with baseball bats, causing severe injuries to his leg, arm and face.[3] He was linked to patronage of a brothel in August 2010, and charged with drug possession after a subsequent investigation.[4][5] Shortly thereafter, he posted bail and was released from prison.[6] He later reported to the Shilin Administrative Enforcement Agency and was questioned about tax evasion.[7]

He was diagnosed with stage III colorectal cancer in 2011, which eventually worsened due to his refusal of chemotherapy after a surgery. He died at Taipei Veterans General Hospital on 3 June 2019, aged 64 years old.[8]
