Official Autopsy reports
from the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja have revealed that Goldie
Harvey, who died on February 14th 2013, suffered intracerebellar hemorrhage
caused by an underlying Hypertensive Heart Disease which resulted to ‘intracerebellar
hemorrhage.’
This in turn affected her
spinal cord bringing about a severe headache (It should be recalled that we
reported that she died screaming of a splitting headache). The autopsy carried
out on February 19, 2013, was signed by Dr. O. O. Oyewole of the Department of
Pathology and Forensic Medicine.
The burial arrangement for
the former Big Brother Africa housemate will be announced by the family. Goldie
died on Valentine’s Day shortly after she returned from Los Angeles, USA, where
she attended the 55th Grammy Awards.
The release of the autopsy
report finally puts paid to all the wild speculations and rumours that have
been flying around since the late singer’s death. Some had initially reported
that she died of Pulmonary Embolism (a condition which is triggered by long
periods of inaction); yet others said she died as a result of drug overdose.
In other news her husband,
Andrew Harvey, may not pay the last respect to his deceased wife due to visa
denial by the Nigerian High Commission in London. As at two days ago when
Andrew traveled to London to obtain a visa to come to Nigeria to see the
remains of Goldie and give her a befitting burial, his application was refused.
He is however not relenting in his efforts to obtain the visa to enable him travel
to Nigeria by weekend and give his wife a well-deserved farewell.
