The police had earlier said they were looking for Namewee to assist the investigation into the death of Taiwanese social media influencer Hsieh Yun-hsin.

The police had earlier reclassified Hsieh's case as murder after the initial sudden death classification.

Namewee was reportedly the last person with Hsieh prior to her death on Oct 22.

The victim was found dead at a hotel room in the city.
