Here’s the official statement
from her management:
On
behalf of Kennis Music, I�m sad to
officially confirm the shocking and untimely passage of Nigeria�s pop
star, Goldie Harvey. With a deep sense of loss, we announce the shocking death
of our darling music star, Goldie Harvey.
Goldie,
31, died on Thursday after she complained of a severe headache at her Park View
residence shortly after her arrival from the United States where she went to
witness the Grammy Award. She was rushed to her official hospital, Reddington,
Victoria Island, Lagos, where doctors pronounced her dead on arrival.
We
consider this period a gloomy moment for us and the entire Nigerian music
industry in view of the circumstance Goldie passed away, the abundance of
talent she has exhibited in her but eventful music career and the various opportunities
her trip to the United States of America would have availed her. She is
survived by her father, step- mother, brothers and sisters. We deeply
sympathize with her family and fans all over the world and very grateful to all
and sundry, especially, the vibrant Nigerian media for their concern and prompt
reportage. We shall keep everybody informed as events unfold as we are still
devastated by the sudden loss.�
Meanwhile,
the remains of Goldie, who hails from Ekiti State has been deposited in the mortuary
of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, Lagos. Goldie represented
Nigeria at the Big Brother Star Game in 2012.
Her latest effort, she described as three nawti singles from her forthcoming
African Invasion album are �Skibo�. �Miliki� and � Got To
Have It,� are
presently enjoying heavy rotations on radio and TV stations across the
continent. Burial arrangements will be announced by the family. May her soul rest in peace.
Adieu Goldie!!!!
Adieu Goldie!!!!
According to sources from Reddington hospital, where Goldie died
last night, the likely cause of her sudden death is pulmonary embolism.
An article on the New York Times website says, �Life-threatening
blood clots and flying have been linked for more than 50 years, but a new study
of business travelers
confirms the risk, particularly for those who take long flights or fly
frequently.
�Immobility is considered a major factor behind the condition, called deep vein thrombosis.
�But while it is often referred to as �economy-class syndrome� because of the cramped seating there, D.V.T. also occurs among those who fly in business class and first class, the researchers found.
�People who fly four hours or more, the study found, have three times the risk of developing clots compared with periods when they did not travel.

�People who fly four hours or more, the study found, have three times the risk of developing clots compared with periods when they did not travel.
�D.V.T. occurs when a blood clot forms within the large deep
veins of the body, usually in the leg. If untreated, part of the clot may break
off and travel to the lungs, where it can cause a pulmonary embolism, a
potentially fatal condition.�
A report on National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute�s website, noted that �pulmonary embolism is a very serious condition. It can damage the lungs and other organs in the body and cause death.

According to close friends, the singer and former Big Brother
contestant, was a frequent traveller and had complained of stress in the past
weeks, but insisted she was fine.
We’ll definitely miss her! What a sad day!
