Actor Humaira Asghar Ali found dead in Karachi DHA apartment

The body of model and actor Humaira Asghar Ali was found inside an apartment in Karachi’s Defence Housing Authority (DHA) on Tuesday.

According to the police, the 32-year-old's body was found in a flat located in Ittehad Commercial, Phase VI.

The Gizri police, acting on a local court's order to vacate the apartment, arrived at the scene around 3:15pm. After receiving no response at the door, officers broke the lock and entered the unit, where they found Ali’s body.

The initial assessment suggests that she had been dead for nearly two weeks. The apartment, officials said, had been rented by the deceased.

A police official stated that the cause of death could not be immediately determined. The police Crime Scene Unit was summoned to collect evidence, and the body was shifted to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) for legal formalities.

Police surgeon Dr Summaiya Syed said: "The body is in an advanced stage of decomposition."

A post-mortem examination and further investigation are currently underway.

Humaira Asghar Ali had previously appeared in ARY Digital’s reality show Tamasha Ghar and the 2015 Pakistani film Jalaibee.
