The Curious Case of Hsieh Yu-hsin & Namewee | Timeline as of Now!

 



The death of Taiwanese influencer Iris Hsieh Yu-hsin (known online as the "Nurse Goddess") at a luxury hotel in Kuala Lumpur has escalated into a high-profile murder investigation. What was initially classified as a sudden death has been reclassified by Malaysian police, deepening the legal troubles and public scrutiny faced by controversial Malaysian rapper Namewee (Wee Meng Chee), who was the last person seen with Hsieh.

This is a breakdown of the suspicious timeline and the public demands that forced the case reclassification.


Part I: The Discrepancies and the Manager's Public Challenge

Iris Hsieh, 31, was found unresponsive in a hotel bathtub on October 22, 2025, while in Malaysia to collaborate with Namewee on a video project. Namewee reported the incident, but the investigation quickly raised serious questions.

The Key Points of Contradiction:

  • Namewee's Arrest: During the initial investigation, police reportedly found pills suspected to be ecstasy in the hotel room. Namewee was subsequently arrested and tested positive for multiple controlled substances, including ketamine and THC. He was later charged with drug possession and use.

  • The Manager's Demand: In the days following Hsieh's death, her manager, Chris, publicly rejected the idea of a natural cause, stating that Hsieh was healthy and had no known medical conditions. His post on social media contained a direct challenge to Namewee, stating that the information provided was "contradictory and inconsistent."

  • Questioning Coercion: Crucially, the manager publicly denied ever witnessing Hsieh use drugs and demanded to know whether Namewee had "induced, deceived, or forced" Hsieh to consume any substance. This challenge put immense pressure on authorities to investigate the possibility of foul play.


Part II: The Case Reclassification and Namewee’s Remand

On November 4, 2025, the Kuala Lumpur police confirmed the investigation was being reclassified as murder under Section 302 of the Penal Code. This decision indicates that forensic evidence gathered over the preceding weeks contradicted the initial assessment of sudden death.

Latest Updates:

  • Remand Order: Following the murder reclassification, Namewee reported to the Dang Wangi police station and was officially placed under six-day remand (until November 10) to assist with the investigation. Police confirm he is considered a critical individual in the probe, given he was the last person seen with the victim.

  • Namewee's Statement: The rapper, who has previously pleaded not guilty to the separate drug charges, has publicly vowed to cooperate fully with the police to "provide answers to the public and the deceased's family," maintaining that he will not flee.

  • Pending Evidence: The official cause of death remains undetermined, pending the crucial results of the post-mortem and toxicology reports. These findings will be key in establishing the connection, if any, between the circumstances in the room and Iris Hsieh's death.


Conclusion

The convergence of a controversial figure, serious drug charges, and the police's decision to treat the death of a well-known influencer as a murder has created a complex and globally followed case. The investigation is comprehensive, reviewing all movements, staff statements, and forensic details. The public and Hsieh’s family anxiously await the final forensic reports that will define the direction of this deepening murder probe.
