A popular Zambian model and socialite, Lisa Mutambo, has died after reportedly vomiting and falling unconscious at her residence in Lusaka’s Kalundu area after a night out with friends, police have disclosed.
Contrary to earlier social media reports suggesting that Lisa was beaten to death by her boyfriend, police said no physical injuries have been observed on her body as investigations into her sudden death continue.
Her sudden death was reported to Chelstone Police Station around 09:30 hours on Thursday, August 2026, with police saying she died between 03:30 and 04:30 hours at Victoria Hospital.
According to police deputy spokesperson Chipo Kaitisha, Lisa spent last evening in the company of two female friends at a hotel where she served as an ambassador.
The trio later left around 22:30 hours for another drinking place in Lusaka, where they continued socializing.
Police said between 02:30 and 03:00 hours today, Mutambo’s boyfriend, identified as Caleb Lisa also known as Andrea [Andrew Chimba according to the Facebook profile], arrived and picked up the three women.
He reportedly dropped the two friends in the Minestone/Casanova area before remaining with Lisa, with whom he was staying in Kalundu.
Police said that after arriving at the residence, Lisa started vomiting before becoming unconscious.
Her boyfriend is said to have contacted a friend who assisted in taking her to Victoria Hospital, where she was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Police officers later processed both the primary and secondary scenes as investigations into the circumstances surrounding her death got underway.
The body was initially taken to FSG Mortuary before being transferred to the University Teaching Hospital Mortuary for a postmortem examination.
Police said no physical injuries had been observed on the body.
An inquiry file has since been opened, with police saying investigations are continuing to establish the circumstances surrounding Lisa’s sudden death.
