Indian expat mother of two, 32, dies after collapsing at Sharjah home, family says

Sharjah, a city in the United Arab Emirates, witnessed a tragic incident on Monday morning when a 32-year-old Indian expat mother of two, Dr. Afeena Raheem, collapsed and passed away at her home in the Al Qasimia area. Her family revealed that Afeena, a qualified dentist, had taken a career break to raise her children. When her husband, Yasar T, a teacher, was away at work, his sister Ramsheena, living in the house with their son, found her unconscious.

Upon her husband's arrival in the UAE from Saudi Arabia, Hakeem discovered Afeena collapsed in the kitchen. A CPR attempt was made by Ramsheena, followed by a call to an ambulance. Despite the medical intervention, Afeena could not be saved.

Afeena's family is currently grappling with the uncertainty surrounding the exact cause of her death, as they await further information. Her husband, Yasar, stated that Afeena had been in good health and had no known underlying medical conditions. The family is now waiting for the death notification and necessary paperwork to repatriate her remains back to their hometown in Kerala. Gulf News reached out to Sharjah Police for additional details on the cause of death but has yet to receive a response.
