Taiwanese singer and actress Huan Huan (real name Yu Chia Hui) was found dead in her residence at Taichung.

According to Sina's Daily News, on the night of 1 June, the police found the singer lifeless on the bed with burnt coals nearby, after family members reported that they failed to contact her.

A note was also left at the scene, which read, "Someone told me to do this."

The singer, who was with her family earlier in the day, reportedly told them that she will be meeting with a man over a drink in the evening and asked them to not disturb her.

While the death is still under investigation, the police have preliminarily concluded that it was death by suicide.

Huan Huan's family also admitted that she has been suffering from depression for the past few months – a condition that might have also played a big part in the tragedy.

Huan Huan was one half of the popular girl duo, You Huan Pai Dui, who released three albums in the 80s, including one with The Little Tigers (Nicky Wu, Julian Chen, and Alec Su).

She later switched to an acting career, appearing in several well-known dramas including "Justice Bao", and "Princess Huai Yu".

She also delved into hosting, helming several variety shows throughout her career.

Huan Huan has been married and divorced twice, first with director Chang Hsiao Ching, where they have two children, and second to actor Franco Chiang, with whom she bore a daughter.
