The corpse of sensational inspirational singer, Taiwo Oshadipe who
died on Friday, October 3, 2014, at 6.30 a.m is undergoing series of
tests at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) in Ikeja, Lagos.
The remains of Taiwo, deposited at the mortuary of LASUTH in
the morning of Friday, because of the suddenness and circumstances of
her death, will be thoroughly examined before it can be released to the
Oshadipe family from Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State.
Meanwhile, her family members are yet to decide on her burial.
Close family sources said that the inconsolable siblings and ageing
mother are still struggling to come to terms with her shocking death.
But soon, meetings will hold to decide when and where the Ondo State born singer would be buried.
And then her manager granted a new interview with The Nation hours ago, had this to say:
“The illness wasn’t serious. She felt better when she started taking the drugs. But surprisingly, she suffered a relapse this week. On Wednesday, she called her doctor who treated her at LASUTH and was told to come over to his private hospital, as he wouldn’t be around at LASUTH until Friday.
“She went to the hospital, where the doctor
carried out some medical checks on her and gave her some drugs. He also
gave her an appointment for Friday. But unfortunately, in the early hours of the day, she started complaining of pains.
“This time, it was very severe; so, her twin sister,
Kehinde, decided to rush her to LASUTH. However, upon reaching the
hospital, she was confirmed dead. So, by 8.00a.m., Kehinde called me and
I had to rush to LASUTH to see her for myself.
“It is still very shocking
to me. I saw her on Wednesday and we talked and joked. We even talked
about my forthcoming wedding. She promised to play at my wedding, so she
asked me not to invite any other musician.
“The autopsy report will be out soon. But I know she had
recovered from the illness. The last thing she complained about was the
chest pain and that was what led to her death two days after.”
