Goldie's Shocking death

I'm in shock. Just got a call from her best friend and my

close friend, Denrele Edun. He told me Goldie died a few

 minutes ago in his arms at Reddington Hospital in Victoria

 Island. Goldie just came back from the US today he said,

 and was so full of life, then something went tragically wrong.

Will get all the details from him in a bit, he was crying so

much and had to switch off his phone. I'm shaking so bad.

 She and I had a conversation a few days ago while she

 was in the US. Oh dear Lord. Is this how people die?

 May her soul rest in peace..Amen.
