Goldie Is Dead.... by JIMOSKI(m): 6:36am On Feb 15, 2013
JIMOSKI can authoritatively confirm that pop singer Susan ‘Goldie‘ Harvey is dead.

Multiple sources told us the Kennis Music singer slumped hours ago, shortly after arriving from Los Angeles, US where she attended the 55th Grammy Awards ceremony. Cause of death remains uncertain, but two of our reporters have seen her corpse, and witnessed as friends and colleagues deposited her remains at the mortuary in Ikeja, Lagos.

Goldie was pronounced dead a few minutes after 10:00 PM, shortly after she was rushed to Reddington Hospital, located at 12, Idowu Martins streets, Victoria Island (beside Mega Plaza) in a red cab.

Our reporters who arrived at the hospital at exactly 11:47 PM were not granted access into the hospital premises. Cool FM OAPs Freeze and Dotun who had arrived earlier were also not granted access into the premises.

Those identified inside the hospital building include Kennis Music label boss Kenny ‘Keke’ Ogungbe, his younger brother ID Ogungbe, Goldie’s close friend Denrele Edun, former Big Brother winners Uti Nwachukwu, Karen Igho and STV presenter Yvonne ‘Vixen’ Ekwere.

At 12:47 AM, the singer’s corpse was loaded into a black Mercedes Benz 4matic SUV with license plate HV266-EkY (pictured above). The Benz along with four other cars headed to the General Hospital, Ikeja morgue.

The body arrived at the General Hospital exactly 01:20 AM and was left in the SUV for 40 minutes while preparations were made. At 02:07, the corpse was dislodged at the Lekan Ogunsola Memorial House of the Ikeja General Hospital.

Denrele (who was dressed in a red singlet and jeans), Karen, Vixen along with Kenny and ID Ogungbe were actively involved in making sure the body was deposited at the morgue.

No photographs were allowed.

The atmosphere was very tense, once in a while Keke would throw in a mild joke to ease the tension. ’It is well, thank you for coming’, Denrele said.

Kenny Ogungbe declined to make any official comments. No official statements have been made but a message was passed from Goldie’s official Twitter handle;

It is with heavy heart that i have to inform you all that goldie passed this night shortly after arriving Lagos‘. The same message also reflected on her Facebook fan page.

Goldie, 29, until her shocking demise was signed to Kennis Music label. She is known for her hit song ‘You know it (Gboko lowo e) ft eLDee; but it was her participation in the Big Brother All Star that turned her into a continental hit, and a household name in Nigeria and beyond.
