Eison Chai, a Malaysian singer, passed away in Taiwan today, August 17. He was 40.
The singer had reportedly fallen from the Luzhou MRT station building at around 10am, according to a story by Focus Taiwan that included local police as a source. He was immediately declared dead.
According to the police, an inquiry into the incident has begun.
In the second season of the singing competition Super Idol, Chai won. In Taiwanese dramas like Rookie's Diary, I, My Brother, and Feng Shui Family, he also played a leading role. Hitomi Wu, a Taiwanese actress, was his wife.
In the previous week, Chai shared multiple self-portraits on his social media with depressing remarks. Three days ago, he made his most recent entry, which read: “The world's most difficult lesson is also most simplest: love. If you love her, you will live forever.”
The iconic song Forget Love Potion by Andy Lau was one of many depressing tunes he performed at a live-streamed karaoke session on Sunday, according to Singapore's Straits Times.
In a recent restaurant venture in Ximending, Chai reportedly lost NT$5mil (RM742,500) according to news portal SET News.
According to Taiwanese media, Wu requested her friends to keep an eye on Chai while she was out for work because he had been acting down lately.
Chai and Wang had intended to host their wedding dinner in Malaysia soon after registering their marriage in Taiwan in 2020.
