Deborah Tushima, the makeup artist who allegedly slumped and died on Saturday, July 4, during her birthday celebration, did not die of poisoning, her family member has said.

Deborah is currently the number one trending topic on Twitter as people express shock over her sudden death on her birthday.

 

 

According to screenshots of a chat shared by a family friend, a family member said the young makeup artist simply slumped.

 

They added that she started “fainting” recently and the one that happened at her birthday party and ultimately led to her death was the fourth time she fainted.

 

The family member said: “Later on we discovered that she has a heart problem that makes her faint, and she has been fainting for some time but neither mum nor dad knew about that.”

 

The family member added that she died in Makurdi, where she was doing her IT, not in Jos as claimed.
