According to sources close to the family, Barbie Hsu reportedly suffered a sudden cardiac arrest in her sleep. She was found unresponsive at home by a family member and was rushed to a nearby hospital. Despite efforts to revive her, she was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Doctors later confirmed that stress-related complications and untreated heart arrhythmia were contributing factors to her untimely death. Some insiders hint that the stress of her high-profile relationships and public scrutiny in recent years may have silently taken a toll on her health.

“She was under a lot of emotional strain,” a close friend revealed. “But she never wanted people to worry. She smiled through everything.”

Tributes from fans and fellow celebrities poured in from all over the world. Many remembered her not just as a talented actress, but as a cultural icon of early 2000s Asian television, who brought K-Drama and C-Drama fans together long before streaming was a thing.

Barbie Hsu’s legacy is deeply rooted in the hearts of millions. Her portrayal of Shan Cai in Meteor Garden (2001) alongside F4’s Jerry Yan transformed her into a household name and shaped an entire generation’s idea of romance, resilience, and youth.
