The death of journalist Hiba Al-Ziyad: Full details and the cause of her sudden death

In shocking news that has shaken Egyptian and Arab media circles, a wave of deep sorrow swept across social media platforms and search engines following the official announcement of the death of journalist Heba El-Zayad in the early hours of Thursday, November 27. The news struck her fans and colleagues like a thunderbolt, especially since the deceased was in good health and was not known to have suffered from any previous chronic illnesses, which only intensified the shock and the pain of her loss.

Details of the final moments and the true cause of death

Sources close to the family and multiple media reports have revealed that Heba Al-Ziyad's death was caused by a sudden and severe health crisis, specifically a sharp drop in blood pressure. According to these reports, her condition deteriorated rapidly and dramatically, culminating in a sudden cardiac arrest that claimed her life within moments, before any medical intervention could save her.

The same sources indicated that the deceased journalist was carrying on with her professional and daily life in a very normal way until the few hours before her death, and no signs of exhaustion or fatigue appeared on her, which is the scenario that is repeated in cases of sudden death that snatches lives without prior warning.

Official announcement of mourning and social media transformed into a mourning tent

The official Facebook page of journalist Dr. Heba Al-Ziyad confirmed the news, with her family posting a moving eulogy that read: “To God we belong and to Him we shall return. To God belongs what He takes and what He gives, and everything with Him has an appointed term. Let us be patient and seek reward with God. The owner of this account, journalist Dr. Heba Al-Ziyad, is in God’s care.” Immediately after the news spread, the pages of her colleagues and admirers transformed into an online book of condolences, reflecting the high esteem and good reputation she held among all who knew her.

What is a severe drop in blood pressure?

In the context of raising medical awareness about this serious event, doctors explain that circulatory collapse is a critical medical condition in which the circulatory system is unable to pump enough blood and oxygen to vital organs, especially the brain and heart. The causes of this condition are varied and may include severe dehydration, internal bleeding, or sudden electrical disturbances in the heart.

The danger of this condition lies in its speed, as it often leads to cardiac arrest and immediate death if cardiopulmonary resuscitation is not performed in the first few minutes, which explains the rapid departure in the case of journalist Hiba Al-Ziyad.

The phenomenon of sudden death and the importance of examinations

The passing of Heba Al-Ziyad has reopened the debate surrounding the phenomenon of sudden cardiac death, which has become increasingly common among various age groups, including young people and public figures who appear to be in excellent health. Experts emphasize that while these incidents are ultimately fate, they underscore the importance of regular cardiovascular checkups to detect any underlying conditions that may not present obvious symptoms in daily life.

May God have mercy on the journalist Hiba Al-Ziyad, and grant her a place in His spacious paradise, and inspire her family, relatives and loved ones with patience and solace in this painful tragedy.
