The 28-year-old was admitted to Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz UKM on Sunday, complaining of feeling unwell. His brother confirmed the death, stating that Muhammad's oxygen levels began to drop around 6am today. Ahmad is currently making arrangements for his brother's remains and is unable to disclose details about the burial location and time. In July 2021, it was reported that Muhammad had undergone treatment for bladder cancer at King Fahd National Guard Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Following a 22-hour-and-45-minute liver separation procedure in 2001, the twins were successfully separated in September 2002 after a 23-hour operation in Saudi Arabia.",
