Autopsy report of Humera on hold

The postmortem report of model-actress Humaira Asghar Ali has been withheld till the completion of the chemical analysis, said Police Surgeon Dr Summaya Syed on Wednesday.

The decomposed body of well-known model and actress Humaira Asghar was discovered in her apartment in Defence Phase 6, Ittehad Commercial area weeks after her death.

Dr Summaya said the remains were in advance stage of decomposition making chemical and forensic examination imperative to substantiate physical analysis.

Meanwhile, police were frantically reaching out to her estranged family to collect the remains. Police reached out to actress's family using contact information obtained from her landlord. Her father and brother were located through the call data record, but her father declined to come to Karachi, stating that the family had cut ties with her around two years ago.

According to SSP South Mahzoor Ali, police retrieved two mobile phones from the scene, which have been sent to the forensic lab for data analysis. He also mentioned the possibility of a third phone, as no communication has been traced beyond October last year. Investigators are exploring whether she was using another device. No suspicious CCTV footage was recovered from the building premises.
