"So what I’m getting from this is that the investigation for TK’s death was lazy. They basically just assumed she overdosed on drugs without verifying this through an official medical report?"

@Pett_Petisto commented:

"They didn't assume anything. They were paid to cover up the truth because they knew exactly what had happened."

"The truth will always find a way to emerge."

"All roads lead to Mandoza and the media that protected him."

"Artists dying at age 27 is a mystery. City Lodge must have had cameras and could easily identify the last person who left the room. Cover-up."

@MaShengeOffline said:

"I remember how shocked I was when I heard this. South Africa man... so much wrong."

@Sxyleera added:

"OMG, how I loved her, I even had a butterfly tattoo that’s how much I loved her MHSRIP."
