Sorrow hung over popular and artistic circles in Port Said following the death of popular singer Mansour Al-Amir at the age of 45, after falling from the balcony of his apartment in the Nasser Housing area, according to press reports. His body was taken to the morgue at Al-Salam Hospital, while the relevant authorities launched an investigation into the circumstances of the incident, and forensic experts were summoned to prepare a report determining the cause of death.
After reports circulated claiming that the late singer took his own life, his ex-wife denied this narrative, confirming that his fall was accidental after he lost his balance, and that he had suffered health troubles recently.
