Popular actress found dead; she reportedly died nine months ago
The Pakistani entertainment industry is in shock following the discovery of the lifeless body of actress and model Humaira Asghar Ali , who was found in an advanced state of decomposition on July 8 in the apartment she was renting in Karachi, Pakistan.
The discovery occurred while authorities were executing a court eviction order for nonpayment of rent. Upon entering the home, they found a shocking scene : the artist's body, in such poor condition that they revealed she had been dead for eight to ten months, according to forensic estimates.
The autopsy revealed that Humaira's body showed extreme signs of decomposition : her facial muscles were completely wasted, her fingers and nails were reduced to bones, and much of her body was devoid of muscle tissue. Some bones even began to crumble when handled by the medical team.
The cause of death has not yet been determined, and the results of toxicology and DNA tests are pending. At the moment, no signs of violence, forced entry, or evidence of criminal activity were found, leading authorities to believe the actress may have died of natural causes such as a heart attack, a domestic accident, or even suicide, according to the Daily Mail.
One of the most painful aspects of the case is the prolonged silence surrounding her disappearance. Neither family, friends, nor colleagues reported her absence, sparking a wave of outrage and sadness on social media. For months, no one seemed to notice her absence or raise a single alarm.
The confusion deepened when it emerged that her family initially refused to claim the body due to the condition in which it was found . Eventually, her brother, Naveed Asghar, decided to transport it to Lahore, where Humaira was buried.
This departure has sparked a national debate about the isolation public figures can experience when they step out of the spotlight, as well as the emotional pressure they face in the entertainment industry.
