Police called influencer’s bathtub death a sudden accident. But then they looked closer.

Malaysian police have officially upgraded the case of a Taiwanese influencer found dead in a hotel bathtub from a sudden accident to a full murder investigation. When you hear a case moves from “sudden death” to “murder,” you know things got dark fast, and it’s truly awful news for the victim’s family and her huge following.

The initial report was classified as a sudden death, but now authorities are treating the situation very seriously, according to local police chief Datuk Fadil Marsu via People. The victim has been identified as 31-year-old Hsieh Yu-hsin, who was better known online as Iris Hsieh. She was a major figure in the influencer world, boasting a massive 546,000 followers on Instagram.
