Goldie Harvey died last night at Reddington Hospital in Victoria Island, Lagos. Goldie had just returned to Nigeria from California where she attended the Grammy Awards with her record label, Kennis Music's boss, Kenny Ogungbe.
Reports say that she started complaining of a terrible headache just before she was rushed to the hospital where she was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Early this morning, a lot of her fans gathered at Reddington Hospital trying to find out exactly what killed the popular singer.
While security men were trying to control the crowd, the current CEO of Kennis music record label, Dayo D1, revealed that Goldie might have died of Pneumonia - an inflammatory condition of the lungs affecting primarily the microscopic air sacs known as alveoli.
