When budding Hip-Hop artiste, Late
Goldie Harvey, left United States for
Nigeria earlier in the week little did she
know that that will be her
last international trip on earth.
According to eyewitness account, Goldie
arrived Lagos on Thursday afternoon
and headed for her Park View residence
in Ikoyi area of Lagos. On her wayhome,
she called her BFF Denrele Edun, whom
she was filming a reality TV show with,
to meet up with her at her flat.
On getting there, Denrele was said to
have noticed that she was not
looking or acting fine, but they all
thought it might have been as a result of
the long-mile trip to Los Angeles that
may be taking toll on her.
She was said to have complained of
headache, dizziness, and general body
weakness. At this point Denrele insisted
that she dresses up for a visit to the
hospital.
She was said to have slumped
while dressing up and all efforts to
revive the 31-year old entertainer
proved abortive. She was rushed to
Reddington Hospital on Victoria
Island and she was certified dead by the
doctors on duty as all CPR measures
conducted on her were of no effect.
According to the Hospital's information
unit, the artiste was "Brought In Dead"
around 7.15pm, and cause of her death
cannot be ascertained until an autopsy
is carried out.
Still in shock, Denrele was said to have
wept uncontrollably at the hospital
when the sad news was broken to him
that Goldie could not be revived. Goldie's
remains have been deposited at the
Lagos University Teaching Hospital
(LUTH) morgue while they await
confirmation from her immediate
family whether to conduct an autopsy
on her corpse.
But at the moment, her family, friends,
fans and the whole Nigerian
entertainment industry is still in a deep
shock as to what could have killed such
a talented star at the onset of a glorious
career. May her soul rest in peace.
