In the statement, he explained that the family had become aware of numerous stories that were being spread on social media about how his wife died, following her death on the 18th of September, 2026.
He noted that the rumours had gained attention in the days that followed her sudden absence from her platforms, where she had been widely followed.
Husband Addresses Growing Speculation After Sudden Loss
According to the address, the claims included suggestions that she died while giving birth, that she suffered a cardiac arrest, that complications developed after childbirth, that she lived with an undisclosed medical condition, that she died as a result of stress, and that she was pregnant at the time she passed, along with several other differing accounts.
He responded to those suggestions directly. He described all of the circulating narratives as entirely untrue.
He added that, at that moment, the family was not in a position to state with certainty what led to her death, even though she had already been laid to rest.

For that reason, he appealed to members of the public to refrain from linking a definite cause to her passing based on guesswork, supposition or unverified reports, even when such reports were credited to individuals presented as family members or extended relatives.
He further explained that while the desire for answers among the public was understandable, certain questions did not yet have responses that could be responsibly provided.
He stated that what was known was that the family had lost a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister and a cherished individual far earlier than expected, and that this painful reality was what they were living with.
