Deceased top model Neema Jeanine Ngerero will be laid to rest in Phoenix Arizona on October 14.

The model died on October 3 in Arizona, United States, aged 25.

Her brother, Kenny Ngerero, told The New Times that she was found dead inside her car at her other brother’s house. The vehicle was inside the garage and turned on with the garage door closed.

"When paramedics arrived on scene, there was a high level of carbon monoxide inside the garage and the house,” he said in an interview.

"It is believed that she fell asleep inside her car and carbon monoxide caused her to lose consciousness. As of this time, there are no signs of foul play and no suspicious circumstances surrounding her death,” he added.

Tributes continue to pour in from the model’s family and friends as well as celebrities who worked with her, including music entrepreneur Bad Rama who traveled to Arizona earlier last week to pay his respects and comfort the bereaved family.

At her age, Ngerero had a promising future in modeling on the international fashion scene, having headlined big fashion events like Milan fashion event and New York fashion week.
