A statement by the Egyptian Ministry of Interior confirmed that efforts to search for the missing person resulted in the discovery of his body, and investigations and medical examinations indicated that there was no criminal suspicion behind his death. Hattan’s death was the result of the repercussions of his poor health conditions, and the brother of the deceased and the Saudi embassy have been informed of all the details, according to a statement by the Egyptian security authorities.

The Saudi Embassy in Cairo had announced in an official statement that since the first day of the disappearance of Hattan, it had begun its procedures and communications with the officials and the Egyptian security authorities in Egypt.
