Malaysian police have charged controversial rapper and filmmaker Namewee with drug possession following media reports that he was found in a Kuala Lumpur hotel room where a Taiwanese influencer was later discovered dead.
The 42-year-old celebrity, whose real name is Wee Meng Chee, was arrested on October 22, at a hotel in the city centre, police said in a statement released on Monday.
“During the search of the hotel room, police discovered nine blue pills suspected to be Ecstasy, weighing around 5.12 grams [0.18 ounce],” Kuala Lumpur police chief Fadil Marsus said in the statement obtained by This Week in Asia. “A urine screening later tested positive for amphetamine, methamphetamine, ketamine and THC,” he added, referring to the chemical compound in cannabis.
Pretty damning with a positive urine test.
Other articles elsewhere say Iris Hsieh's cause of death was a heart attack. At age 31, a heart attack would be extremely unlikely from natural causes. The most likely cause of a heart attack for her is as a result of use of stimulants such as amphetamine and methamphetamine.
That's why don't do drugs
