Actress Humaira Asghar Ali Found Dead in DHA Apartment; Body Decomposed Beyond Recognition

The lifeless body of actor and model Humaira Asghar Ali was discovered in an advanced state of decomposition inside a rented apartment in Karachi’s upscale Defence Housing Authority (DHA) Phase-VI. The discovery, made by Gizri police on court orders to vacate the property, has left many stunned and raised urgent questions about how such a tragic death could go unnoticed for weeks.

According to South DIG Syed Asad Raza, the body was recovered from an apartment located in Ittehad Commercial. The 32-year-old actress, who had once appeared in the ARY reality show Tamasha Ghar and the 2015 film Jalaibee, had reportedly passed away nearly two weeks before her remains were found.

The police were executing a court order to vacate the flat after the landlord filed a complaint due to non-payment of rent throughout 2024. When officers arrived at around 3:15 PM, there was no response from inside. Upon breaking the lock, they were met with a haunting scene, Humaira’s decomposing body lying inside the locked apartment.

Crime Scene Unit officers were summoned to gather forensic evidence, and the body was shifted to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre. Police surgeon Dr. Summaiya Syed confirmed that the body was in a severely decomposed state, adding that the “cause of death is reserved” pending a full autopsy and coroner’s report.

Initial findings suggest no signs of forced entry or foul play. The apartment’s iron gate, wooden door, and balcony door were all locked from the inside, indicating Humaira had been alone at the time of her death. Still, investigators are treading cautiously, leaving no stone unturned as they attempt to contact any of her surviving relatives using data from her mobile phone.
