A 25year-old Zambian model and socialite, Lisa Mutambo, has died after reportedly vomiting and becoming unconscious at her residence in Lusaka’s Kalundu area following a night out with friends.
The Zambia Police Service, through Chelstone Police Station, said the incident was reported at about 9:30am on Thursday, August 20, 2026, with Mutambo’s death occurring between 3:30am and 4:30am at Victoria Hospital.
According to police deputy spokesperson Chipo Kaitisha, Mutambo spent the evening of August 19 with two female friends at a hotel where she served as an ambassador.
The three women later left the hotel at about 10:30pm and continued socialising at another drinking spot in Lusaka.
Police said Mutambo’s boyfriend arrived between 2:30am and 3:00am and picked up the three women, later dropping the two friends in the Minestone/Casanova area before taking Mutambo to the Kalundu residence.
After arriving at the residence, Mutambo reportedly started vomiting before becoming unconscious.
Her boyfriend then contacted a friend who assisted in taking her to Victoria Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
The Zambia Police Service said in a press statement “The Zambia Police Service, through Chelstone Police Station, received a report of a sudden death involving a 25-year-old female identified as Lisa Mutambo.”
Police said officers processed the primary and secondary scenes while the body was initially deposited at FSG Mortuary before being transferred to the University Teaching Hospital Mortuary for a postmortem examination.
The police said no physical injuries had been observed on Mutambo’s body, as authorities addressed social media claims that she had been beaten to death by her boyfriend.
