Did Goldie Die of Pulmonary Embolism?

After the sudden and painful demise of Music Star Susan Goldie Harvey, i just couldn't  understand it, so i kept enquiring about the cause of death.

A statement that was issued by her record label pointed that she complained of a severe headache shortly after her arrival from the United States where she went to witness the Grammy Award. She was rushed from her Park View, Ikoyi, Lagos residence to her official hospital, Reddington, Victoria Island, Lagos, where doctors pronounced her dead on arrival at exactly 7:30pm in the evening,”

Goldie’s death was painful. However, i heard over one of the T.V stations this morning that Goldie might have died of pulmonary embolism.

Pulmonary embolism is a blockage of the main artery of the lung or one of its branches by a substance that has travelled from elsewhere in the body through the bloodstream (embolism).

It most commonly results from a blood clot in the deep veins of the legs or pelvis (deep vein thrombosis) that breaks off and migrates to the lung, a process termed venous thromboembolism (VTE). A small proportion of cases are due to the embolization of air, fat, talc in drugs of intravenous drug abusers, tumors, or amniotic fluid.

 The obstruction of one of the flow through the lungs and the resultant pressure on the right ventricle of the heart leads to the symptoms and signs of pulmonary embolism.

The risk of pulmonary embolism is increased in various situations, such as cancer; recent surgery involving the legs, hips, belly, or brain; prolonged bed rest; pregnancy and childbirth(especially in the case of cesarean section); taking birth control pills or hormone therapy; smoking.

Pulmonary embolism may be hard to diagnose because the symptoms are like those of many other health problems.

Symptoms of pulmonary embolism include sudden shortness of breath, sharp chest pain that gets worse when you cough or take a deep breath, pneumonia, and palpitations. 

You could also feel anxious or on edge, sweat a lot, feel lightheaded or faint. Clinical signs include low blood oxygen saturation and cyanosis, rapid breathing, and a rapid heart rate. Severe cases of pulmonary embolism can lead to collapse, abnormally low blood pressure, and sudden death.

Could this have been what took Goldie away suddenly?

I never met her in person, But i gathered that she was a very warm individual. May her soul rest in perfect peace, and rest in the hands of the Lord!
