What Caused Goldie’s Death


phpThumb_generated_thumbnail (1)It has now  been confirmed that former BBA contestant and Nigerian musician is dead! Kennis Music have issued a press statement confirming this and a double confirmation has come from the deceased best friend Denrele Edun (A Nigerian TV presenter for Channel O).
The hospital where the Nigerian star passed on have disclosed the cause of death as pulmonary embolism which is an obstruction of a blood vessel in the lungs usually caused by a blood clot which blocks a coronary artery.
According to an article on the New York Times website,
’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 (D.V.T).
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.
’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.
Meanwhile, the remains of Goldie, who hails from Ekiti State are been preserved at the mortuary of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital in Ikeja, Lagos. The family will announce the burial arrangements
Goldie will be missed by many. May God rest her soul in eternal peace.
