Taiwanese influencer & Namewee spent night in hotel together, police not investigating sexual assault: M'sia media

The Taiwanese influencer, who died in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, reportedly spent the night in the luxury hotel room with Malaysian rapper, Namewee, according to China Press, citing Malaysia police.

The Malaysia Chinese media reported that the authorities confirmed that the deceased had been with Namewee for the night, following investigations.

In response to media queries, the police there said they were unable to confirm if the 31-year-old deceased, Hsieh Yu-hsin, also known as Iris Hsieh, had been discussing work with Namewee, whose real name is Wee Meng Chee.

The body was reportedly found in a five-star hotel in Kuala Lumpur at around 1:40pm on Wednesday, Oct. 22.

However, the Malaysia police have ruled out sexual assault.

Malaysia police said the case "does not involve rape", and as a result, "the police will not charge Namewee with sexual assault".

They will proceed to charge him for drug possession and failing a urine test.

Wee was charged with possession and consumption of drugs on Oct. 24, two days after he was remanded.

Deceased's family to fly to Malaysia

In another development, it was reported that Hsieh's family is expected to fly to Malaysia to claim her remains.

Hsieh's body is still held at a morgue in a hospital in Kuala Lumpur.

Malaysia police have reportedly almost completed the autopsy, but did not reveal any findings.

Hsieh's family is expected to cremate her body in Malaysia and bring her ashes back to Taiwan.
