According to HK01, the artist passed away on the evening of 24/2, 12 days after being admitted to the emergency room.

Before hospitalization, Du Bieu was in a semi-conscious state. Doctors diagnosed him with a brain hemorrhage, and he was in a coma during his final days.

For over 10 years, Du Bieu had stepped away from acting to manage a company distributing hygiene and medical products. Hoang Van Tieu worked for Du Bieu, and their bond extended beyond friendship, stemming from their time as TVB colleagues. Du Bieu consistently provided Hoang Van Tieu with acting opportunities.

Hoang Van Tieu expressed deep shock over his friend's death. He revealed that Du Bieu was married and had a young daughter. "He was my friend, my boss," Hoang Van Tieu said. "I don't know what to say; his daughter is so young. I don't know how to help his family."

Born in 1968, Du Bieu began his acting career in 1985, appearing in hundreds of TVB films. His notable roles included A Bieu in "The Legend of Chen Zhen", Tham Thanh Cuong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes 1994", a Beggars' Sect disciple in "The Condor Heroes 1995", Loi Chan Tu in "Journey to the West 1996", and Mi Vi Nghia in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer 1996".

The artist also featured in other classic TVB productions such as "The Great Era", "Detective Investigation Files", "The Deer and the Cauldron 1998", "A Kindred Spirit", "Armed Reaction", "Blood Stained Sword", and "Healing Hands". By the 2010s, his roles became less frequent, and he gradually faded from the screen. Du Bieu's last known work was "A Life of Misfortune" (2017).

In a program in 2025, an audience member asked Du Bieu if he ever considered pursuing lead roles. The artist responded: "I know I'm not the handsome type, so it's hard to become famous. But I love acting, I love the feeling of stepping into a character's world. Being a 'green leaf' (a term for supporting actors) is also good; when the director calls 'cut', it's enough if the audience remembers my role. Not playing the lead also has its advantages; I get to live more freely."
