A Taiwanese influencer, known as "Nurse Goddess" by her fans, has died of a sudden heart attack while in Malaysia, according to various media outlets.

Hsieh Yu-hsin, also known as Iris Hsieh, was reportedly on a shoot while abroad when the news broke on Oct. 30.

She was 31.

Just days ago on Oct. 19, Hsieh had appeared in an Instagram video, wearing a yellow swimsuit while apparently on vacation.

Family shocked, may pursue investigation

According to her manager, Chris, the illness came on suddenly without any possibility of emergency treatment.

He added that her family is struggling to accept the outcome, and may consider further investigation, reported Mirror Media.

She was "very healthy and loved sports", her family said.

Chris also hit back at online rumours that she'd taken drugs while at Genting Highlands.

He dismissed these as malicious speculation, according to ET Today.

A preliminary police report did not make any mention of either Genting Highlands or drug use.

A former nurse, Hsieh had over 500,000 followers on Instagram and posted a range of travel, lifestyle, and beauty content.

She also had an OnlyFans account, in which she professed to be the top creator in Taiwan.

For her looks and nursing background, she was nicknamed "Nurse Goddess" by her fans.
