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.
Meanwhile, 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
travelled 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.
