Mother of mosque attack victim dies after suspected heart attack

The mother of a victim in Christchurch mosque attacks who travelled for his funeral, has died of a suspected heart attack.

Hawzah News Agency (Christchurch, New Zealand) – The mother of a man killed in the Christchurch mosque attacks who travelled from Jordan for his funeral, has died of a suspected heart attack.

A family member, Ali Dia, said Souad Adwan, who was 65, arrived in New Zealand on Thursday for Kamel Darwish's burial.

But he said she was too upset to attend the funeral, went home to rest and died this morning.

Kamel Darwish's brother in law, Ali Dia, says a post mortem is expected to be finished by midday.

The family hope to have Mrs Souad returned to them this afternoon, so they can begin to prepare her body for burial.

Mr Dia said the family is still in shock and struggling to cope with Mrs Adwan's death.

The Christchurch mosque shootings were two consecutive terrorist attacks at mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, during Friday Prayer on 15 March 2019.

The attacks killed 50 people and injured 50 more. A 28-year-old Australian man, described in media reports as a white supremacist and part of the "alt-right", was arrested and charged with murder.

End.
