Taiwanese actress Chu Hui-chen has publicly outed her deceased daughter in a moving press conference that repeatedly reduced her to tears.

Speaking of an unfulfilled promise of waving a rainbow flag in Times’ Square, Hui-chen held a flag firmly in her hands and shouted in an increasingly emotional voice, 'Today is the day Chu An-jie comes out of the closet...Mama has helped you come out.'

Hui-chen held the unexpected press conference on Thursday (24 May), after An-jie jumped to her death as she turned 26 on Mother's Day, drawing much media speculation.
