He was found dead in his home in Tel Aviv on Sunday, an Israeli police spokesman said in a statement.
The statement didn’t explain the cause of the death but says the ambassador was reportedly found in his home in Herzlija, near Tel Aviv.

According to local media citing unidentified emergency medical officials, initial indications are that he died in his sleep of natural causes.
Before taking up the post in Israel, Du Wei had been China’s ambassador to Ukraine.
