Karachi police suspect model Humaira Asghar's death took place several months ago

Karachi: Model and actress Humaira Asghar Ali might have passed away several months ago, Karachi police suspected on Thursday.

The disclousre came after her decomposed body was discovered earlier this week at her apartment in Defence Phase VI’s Ittehad Commercial area.

Initially, the police believed the body was six months old, however, the digital and forensic evidence revealed that it was nine months old.

Deputy Inspector General (DIG) South Asad Raza told the media that evidence collected from Humaira’s flat suggests she may have passed away around October 2024.

“The expiry date of food and drinks found in the flat is 2024, and the last messages on the actor’s phone are also from October 2024,” DIG Raza was quoted as saying by Arab News.

The 32-year-old actor, who had been living alone in the apartment for the past seven years, was found dead on Tuesday when a bailiff arrived to execute an eviction order over unpaid rent.

The policemen entered the premises after breaking down the locked door and discovered the body in an “advanced state of decomposition”.
