Recent information regarding the death of the Lebanese nuclear scientist, Mohammad Ali Mkhaiber Ayoub, who was found dead in his room in Spain, revealed that the cause of death was a severe heart attack.
Lawyer Ashraf Al-Moussawi, the family’s legal representative, explained that Ayoub was working for the World Health Organization. He traveled from France, where he has resided for about fifteen years, with a group of friends to spend the New Year holiday in Spain.
Al-Moussawi stated that the deceased suffered from chronic heart disease and is believed to have experienced sudden health complications during the trip, leading to his death.
Accordingly, Al-Moussawi confirmed that all theories previously circulated about the existence of any criminal suspicions or criminal acts have been ruled out, confirming that the death was natural. The family also expressed its deep sorrow at the passing of their son and rejected any misleading or interpretations that might raise doubts about the circumstances of his death.
He added that the family is receiving condolences at their home in Riyak, and that arrangements are underway to transport the deceased’s body to Lebanon for burial in his hometown.
