The Syrian artist, George Wassouf, was shocked at dawn on Saturday by the death of his son, Wadih, after a simple gastric sleeve surgery that he underwent a week ago.
The surgery caused side complications that led to the death of Wadih, whom his grieving father described as “a tear of the eye and a beloved of the heart from within.”
The news of the death came hours after the family announced the transfer of the late young man to a hospital in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, in a critical condition, following the operation.
Medical sources in a Lebanese hospital, east of the capital, Beirut, told Sky News Arabia that Wadih Wassouf was admitted to the hospital in a critical condition as a result of severe bleeding, due to his failure to adhere to the advice of the doctor who underwent a stomach reduction operation about 10 days ago.
And the pioneers of the communication sites re-circulated a video clip of the Syrian singer George Wassouf talking about his late son Wadih long before his death, as “Sultan Al-Tarab” said in the meeting: “This is the tear of my eyes, this is the beloved of the heart from the inside. I am Abu Wadih.
It is noteworthy that Wadih is the eldest son of the Syrian artist from his first wife, Shalimar, with whom he had a civil marriage in the French capital, Paris, after her family refused this connection.
