The former Rhythm city Actor, Jamie Barlett death has been revealed by his partner Rosa Onious. The South African Art industry has once again suffered a loss when Bartlett passed away on Monday evening at 55 years old.
According to Rosa Onius, an autopsy revealed that cardiac arrest was the reason behind the actor’s death. “We got the autopsy results and they said it was cardiac arrest,” she said. The 29-year-old retail manager reportedly tried to wake Bartlett up on Monday afternoon but he didn’t wake up and also tried nudging him but that also didn’t work.
Onious and her mother then called an ambulance. Paramedics are said to have tried everything to resuscitate him but it was unfortunately too late. The family is yet to communicate dates for the memorial service and funeral.
