Nigerian Pop Singer Susan 'Goldie' Harvey Died Of Stroke-Pathologists
Susan Oluwabimpe Harvey
By SaharaReporters, New York
Medical sources at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital have revealed that Big Brother Africa singing sensation Oluwabimpe Susan Harvey aka "Goldie" died of Intracranial hemorrhage as a result of hypertension.
Several of the sources told Saharareporters exclusively that Mrs. Harvey had bleeding in her brain which could be attributed to hypertension.
The confirmation put to rest earlier speculation by her managers and fans that she died of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) as a result of her long journey from the Grammy's Award in the US.
One of our sources said that they could not immediately determine if drugs consumption triggered the excessive amount of bleeding that killed her as it was rare for someone her age to die of stroke.
The medical source stated that a toxicology test would be required to find out if her death was caused by drugs, a process that would likely take months as conclusive tests could only be conducted outside Nigeria.
The pop singer died on Valentine day shortly after returning from the US.
The cause of death has been a source of speculation and resentment as her fans, and friends objected to suggestions that she might have died due to drug addiction.

When SR reported that Hippopatience was admitted and was undergoing surgery, all thugs took to their pens to discredit them. When SR reported that Gov. Suntai is an imbecile in vegetative state due to a plane crash, his thugs hurriedly arranged a photo-op disclaiming the obvious. When SR tracked Chime in the UK and told us he had cancer, fools called them names. Finally, when SR quoted PM News and speculated on the possible cause of Goldie's death, all sorts of miscreants came out swinging. Today, Hippo was "resurrected" after nine days of death; Suntai's deputy has tacitly ruled him out and is celebrating 100days of power; Gov. Chime has since rushed back to Enugu to admit he's receiving treatment for cancer ...and Goldie did not die of DVT! Drugs bust the veins in her silly skull resulting in a stroke. Waiting to see how many bad-mouthed commentators have the decorum to apologise for their insults. Animals!
Goldie OD'ed her life away and the lesson is: No-2-Drugs !!!

All the stories that came up after the death of Goldie, some discouraging and some encouraging, give Goldie no opportunity to come back to life. Part of what makes her death to be enshrouded in absolute speculation was her secrecy. Goldie never revealed herself, and so only few people knew her much.
We should becareful in our judgements, condemnations and speculations of the lady's lifestyle, secret marriage and death. God is watching us, and will judge us accordingly.

COMMON TOXICOLOGY TESTS UNAVAILABLE IN NIGERIA-SHAME
Submitted by osita DIOKA (not verified) on February 19, 2013 - 22:45.
Does it mean that our Police forensics are conducted overseas when the need for toxicology tests which are common place arises.Nigeria is so backward yet our leaders are busy merry making at Abuja.
THE 4 BILLION NAIRA WHICH THE FIRST LADY WANTS TO WASTE ON AN EDIFICE CAN BE USED TO EQUIP A LABORATORY WHICH CAN OFFER TOXICOLOGY TESTS OF ALL SORTS.
ALSO IF DAVID MARK,TAMBUWAL AND THEIR WORLD'S HIGHEST PAID LEGISLATORS WERE TO EARN THE SAME AS USA LEGISLATORS,IN JUST 1 YEAR THAT MONEY CAN BUILD A WELL EQUIPPED TOXICOLOGY LAB FOR EVERY STATE IN NIGERIA.
Shame on .........

Shame on those of you who where already passing their judgements on her, without waiting for the autopsy result.We are only good in destroying other with our mouths, as if we are better.

Intracranial bleeding at that age may have been from rupture of an abnormally formed artery in her brain (present since birth) whin in any case would have been seeing at autopsy. Otherwise this is likely to be a case of drug use gone wrong. Overdose of Cocaine, amphetamine etc can cause rupture of arteries in the brain resulting into bleeding and death
