Though Stanley Ontop didn’t state the cause or when the actress passed, checks on the deceased’s official Instagram page showed that she put in about three weeks.

One of the messages she tagged by a user, Edo Online Television on July 31, 2024, announced that Okpamen had welcomed a new baby with her husband.

However, the actress didn’t make any posts by herself to announce the arrival of the new baby, giving rise to suspicion that she may have had complications after the delivery.
