She reportedly loved exercising and led a healthy lifestyle, with no known underlying conditions.
Her loved ones are currently handling funeral arrangements and are also considering an investigation into her death.
“Her family will likely hold a private farewell; it probably won’t be public,” her manager, Chris, said.
A trained caregiver from Taichung, Taiwan, Hsieh was nicknamed the “Nurse Goddess”, as reported by Need To Know.
She had hundreds of thousands of social media followers and was also active on adult subscription platforms.
Her last post, dated 19 October, showed the 31-year-old model and other influencers wearing swimsuits for a video shoot.
Hsieh was instantly recognisable by the missing portion of a ring finger on one hand, a story she had shared with fans.
She lost the digit while working at her family’s iron factory shortly after leaving school.
During a moment of distraction, she accidentally crushed her finger in a hydraulic press, with her father rushing her to the hospital.
“They managed to reattach it for a few days, but it worsened and the fingertip turned black, so it had to be amputated,” she once explained.
“I’ve truly accepted it and never felt embarrassed. Luckily, it wasn’t my thumb, so it didn’t affect my life at all. And thankfully not my middle finger,” she joked. “Otherwise, how would I argue with people in the future?”
Fans have since been flooding her social media with messages of condolence.
