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.

I do not know Goldie personally,but it always pains me when people die so young.It is a shame that Toxicology test cannot be conducted in Nigeria as the post said.It is very hard to believe.It is either they have already done the toxicology test on her and decided not to make the result public or they simply do not want to do it.But please these posters should stop insulting our intelligence,toxicology test can be done in any average laboratory with the result coming out within 24 hours.I once lost a friend to drug overdose,he was bleeding from both ears when we got there,the toxicology test that confirmed he died of drug use came out within 6 hours.
