Due to the extent of decomposition, the cause of death has not yet been determined. Medical officers have reserved their opinion pending further chemical, histopathological, and DNA analysis.
Samples including hair, bones, blood, and swabs have been preserved for further investigation.
The actor was laid to rest in Lahore. Her funeral was attended by close family members, including her father, brother, and paternal uncle.
The body was brought to Lahore from Karachi by her brother and brother-in-law, and she was laid to rest at a cemetery in Model Town.
Speaking to journalists at the burial site, Humaira’s father, Dr Asghar Ali, said the family could not take possession of the body until the post-mortem had been completed.
