On January 4, 1998, Chin went fishing near Virginia Beach. He left around 2:00 p.m. in his 23-foot boat, the Formosa, expecting to be back in three hours. He never returned.

The next day, at 10:00 a.m., his boat was found 40 miles out to sea, still running. Everything was on board, and the boat wasn’t damaged, but Chin was missing. A big search was done, but they never found him. It’s believed he had an accident at sea and died.
