On the evening of Thursday 14th February 2013, while lovers basked in the euphoria of Valentine's day, exchanging gifts, coy glances and everything else in between, the news of Goldie's sudden passing hit cyberspace and just like that the conversation changed. Several questions, speculations and controversies later, it turned out the vivacious singer died as a result of 'intracerebral haemorrhage' triggered by the fact that she had ‘hypertensive heart disease’. Shock of shocks! Not drug abuse, not Stroke, not even Deep Vein Thrombosis aka blood clot as was alluded a few hours after news of her death broke but hypertension, a condition we generally associate with folks past middle age.

Often times, we take our youth for granted which is why when someone young suddenly passes away; especially from health-related issues, it seems too far-fetched a thought to grasp. But the truth is these occurrences aren't quite as far-fetched as we'd like to think. From poor diet regimens to distressing sleep habits, there are so many little things we do which contribute to shortening our life span without us even realising it and no matter how much we 'reject' it or console ourselves with thoughts of 'it is well', there are certain outcomes that can't just be wished away.
