There were speculations concerning how she actually died. But those close to her said she died in the University College Hospital, Ibadan after suffering complications from a four-month pregnancy which resulted in a miscarriage.

"I had met her on set many times. She is a nice person, a very nice actress," actress Lizzy Anjorin said of the late Bisi.

Also, popular comic actor, Bolaji Amusan (Mr. Latin), said he heard the news on Tuesday. “People die daily. Only God knows the number of people that have died globally between the last day in 2012 and the New Year. But because of our closeness to some people and for the fact that they are famous, we tend to express great loss when they die. The popularity of dramatists and the love people have for them often make their fans lament whenever any of them dies," he said
