Manama

---

For the second time in one week, another Egyptian public school teacher died in Muharraq Governorate yesterday. Ahmed Abdulmalik, an Arabic language teacher in Arad Elementary and Intermediate Boys’ School, Arad died of heart attack within the first week of school reopening.

A source from the school, confirmed that the deceased had cardiac problems and underwent a catheterisation surgery in Egypt during the recent summer holidays (June-August).

It’s said that the cardiac complications reoccurred once Abdulmalik arrived in Bahrain and it prevented him from resuming his duties.

“It seems the surgery in Egypt wasn’t successful, as the coagulation in his pulmonary artery remained. He wasn’t feeling well when he arrived in Bahrain by the end of last month. He was immediately admitted to King Hamad University Hospital for treatment. He was in the Intensive Care Unit for almost a week, where he breathed his last,” the source added.

The deceased will be soon flown back to his hometown in Al Wadi Al Jadid (New Valley) Governorate in Egypt, where he will be buried. Condolences and prayers of the dead were offered at Kanoo Mosque in Muharraq yesterday. A co-worker informed that the deceased was survived by his pregnant wife and three daughters.

As reported on Wednesday, an Egyptian teacher, Ala Radhwan, died of heart failure in Omar bin Al Khattab Elementary and Intermediate Boys’ School in Muharraq on the first day of the school (Sunday).
