Police say they are investigating mysterious death of model and actor Humaira Asghar Ali at Karachi DHA flat
KARACHI: (UrduPoint/Pakistan Point News-July 9th, 2025) The post-mortem examination of renowned actress and model Humaira Asghar has been completed at Jinnah Hospital, with the cause of death reserved pending the final medical report. Her decomposed body was discovered several days ago in her apartment located on the fourth floor of a residential building in Defence Phase 6, Ittehad Commercial Area, within the jurisdiction of Gizri Police Station.
According to police sources, Humaira’s body was in an advanced state of decomposition, making it difficult to determine the exact cause of death. Police Surgeon Dr. Summaiya Syed confirmed that further forensic analysis is needed before any conclusions can be drawn.
Two mobile phones were recovered from the apartment and sent to a forensic laboratory for data analysis. Preliminary findings reveal that the last call made from her phone was in October 2024, after which there has been no outgoing activity. Authorities suspect the possibility of a third phone being used, which may provide more insight into her final communications.
SSP South stated that it is too early to speculate on the nature of her death. “We are investigating all angles, and expert reports will guide the direction of the case,” he added.
The apartment has not yet been fully searched. According to officials, a court bailiff has instructed that a formal report be submitted on the incident before the flat is unsealed for a complete investigation.
The police also confirmed that no friends, neighbors or members of the entertainment industry came forward with information or contacted authorities since the discovery. The CCTV footage from the building has been reviewed but no visuals have been found showing Humaira or any visitors entering or exiting the premises.
SSP South said that if the post-mortem indicated foul play, efforts would be made to register a case through the family.
However, Humaira’s father has declined to travel to Karachi or claim the body. If the family continues to abstain, police will proceed to register a case under state authority.
The authorities continued to investigate the case from multiple angles, and further developments would be shared as the inquiry progresses.
