Police have shared more details about the death of actress and model Humaira Asghar, revealing why her death went unnoticed for so long.

Speaking on a private TV program about Humara Asghar's case, whose body was found in her apartment in Karachi’s DHA Phase 6 on July 8, DIG South Asad Raza explained, “The smell of a decomposing body can last for 5 to 40 days. But the family living in the flat next to hers was out of the country from October to February, which made it impossible for anyone to notice her death."

He further shared that the room where Humaira’s body was found had an attached gallery, and the washroom window in the next room was open, which may have caused the smell to spread and disappear over time.

DIG added that an investigation is underway involving the flat management, the watchman, and neighbours.

The police claim that, as per their findings, Humaira died on October 7, 2024. “Three days later, the watchman tried calling her, but she didn’t respond. One of her friends also tried to contact her, but got no reply,” According to our records
