In a troubling turn of events surrounding the late Dr. Diaa Al-Owdi’s demise in Dubai, his lawyer, Mustafa Magdy, reveals intriguing details about the circumstances leading up to the discovery of his body. This article explores Dr. Diaa Al-Owdi’s journey to Dubai and the mysterious silence that preceded his untimely passing.
A Shocking Discovery
During a recent phone interview on the program “Kol Al-Kalam,” hosted by Amr Hafiz on the “Al-Shams” channel, Magdy described the news of Dr. Diaa Al-Owdi’s death as a profound shock. He noted that the family has been in a state of disbelief since receiving the heartbreaking news. In an unsettling revelation, he highlighted a significant gap in communication with Dr. Al-Owdi, stating, “He was unreachable from the 12th to the 19th of the month, which is the date his death was discovered.” This raises questions about the circumstances surrounding Dr. Diaa Al-Owdi during those critical six days.
Unanswered Questions
Magdy expressed his deep concerns regarding Dr. Diaa Al-Owdi’s whereabouts during this period, asking, “The authorities reported finding him 48 hours after his death, but what happened in the days leading up to that?” This uncertainty looms large, especially since family members, his wife, and even his legal team had lost all contact with him. The ongoing investigation aims to shed light on the mystery surrounding his disappearance in the days prior to his death.
Awaiting Autopsy Results
Amid rumors suggesting that Dr. Diaa Al-Owdi’s passing might be due to a heart attack, Magdy confirmed that the family is awaiting the arrival of the body, complete with an official autopsy report from Emirati authorities. “We cannot draw any conclusions until we see the official documents and investigation photos,” he emphasized. He further clarified that Dr. Al-Owdi had shown no signs of health issues prior to his trip, recalling their last conversation as normal, focused on routine professional matters, with no sign of distress.
From Tourism to Professional Endeavors
Regarding Dr. Diaa Al-Owdi’s visit to the UAE, Magdy shared that what began as a simple tourist trip evolved into a work-related stay due to the presence of friends and offers to record a podcast. Despite this shift, it was clear that Dr. Al-Owdi had no intention of settling permanently in Dubai and intended to return home soon. Presently, coordination is underway with the Egyptian consulate in Dubai to finalize the necessary legal and administrative processes. While the precise timeline for the return of Dr. Diaa Al-Owdi’s body remains undecided, it is contingent upon the completion of official paperwork, which could take hours or just a few days.
