Investigations with Dr. Sherif Abbas, the physician treating Wael El-Ibrashi, revealed the real reason behind the death of the late Egyptian journalist.
It turned out that the improper treatment of the attending physician later caused the explosion of the al-Ebrashi’s air sac, which led to an air leak on the lungs, and caused death.
The investigations added that the first leak occurred a week before death and was treated with a chest tube, and the doctors were able to control it, and then the second leakage occurred, and they were unable to confront it, so the death occurred.

The investigations stated that Dr. Muhammad Awad Taj El-Din, advisor to the president for health affairs, was following up on El-Ibrashi’s condition and assigned Dr. Sherif Abbas to be with him for periods of time in a friendly manner, in order to ensure his condition, and to inform the president’s advisor of the developments of the case in a timely manner.
And it turned out that the treating doctor used clinical trials to treat the media from the Corona virus, with the approval of the Ministry of Health.
Al-Ibrashi was infected with Corona, and the doctor requested tests from him, then asked him to go to the hospital to find someone to give him treatment and follow up on his condition instead of treating him at home.
Investigations revealed that the journalist was treated with Sovaldi, following which the result of the coagulation coefficient increased, and this was dealt with until it decreased, noting that the delay in proper treatment and the use of inappropriate medications were behind the deterioration of Al-Ibrashi’s condition and then his death.
The Egyptian Attorney General, Hamada Al-Sawy, had ordered an investigation into the death of the Egyptian journalist, Al-Ibrashi.
The wife of the late journalist filed a report accusing a doctor of causing her husband’s death, saying that he gave him tablets to treat the Corona virus, and persuaded him to take them while he was smoking heavily with the late dialogue, which negatively affected him.
The Public Prosecutor’s statement added that Arama, the late journalist, said that although the results of the tests proved that her husband had pulmonary fibrosis, the doctor continued to treat him with the same pills that he claimed to have invented, adding that other doctors tried to save her husband and treat him from the complications caused by the virus until his death.
It is noteworthy that the Egyptian journalist had died last January at the age of 58, following a long and difficult journey of treatment, during which he suffered from the repercussions of the Corona virus, and fibrosis of the lungs.
