Hattan’s brother, Hani Shata, shared the devastating news that Hattan had been found deceased. The Egyptian Ministry of Interior confirmed that their search efforts led to the discovery of his body, with investigations indicating no criminal involvement. Hattan’s death was attributed to his poor health conditions.

Earlier reports from Okaz indicated that the body was found on a street and determined to have died naturally. Hattan had left his apartment in the Al-Rehab area, leaving all his belongings behind and losing contact with everyone.
