According to the production company of the show that He Pingping was shooting for, two episodes had already been filmed after the unfortunate incident took place. The body of one of the most loved little men of the world had been returned to China, his hometown, where the funeral ceremonies had taken place, as per the requests of the bereaved family. According to the editor-in-chief of the Guinness World Records, Craig Glenday, He Pingping had turned out to make a huge impact on the world with his cheeky liveliness and wit.
