In a shocking discovery, the decomposed body of Pakistani actor Humaira Asghar Ali was found in her Karachi apartment on Tuesday, nearly nine months after her presumed death. Authorities believe she passed away in October 2024, but her remains were only uncovered following a complaint from her landlord over unpaid rent.
One of the most puzzling aspects of the case is how her death went unnoticed for so long. Police noted there were no strong odours to alert neighbours. The reason? A combination of environmental factors. “There was an open balcony door and the apartment next to hers was vacant,” an officer explained, which helped diffuse any potential smells.
In the weeks leading up to her death, Humaira had stopped using her phone and ceased all social media activity, contributing further to the delay in realising she was missing. Her tragic, solitary death has left many questions and a family in mourning, searching for answers.
