Hospital staff at Mubarak Hospital were left alarmed when a man brought in for treatment was discovered to be dead, and the people who brought him had already disappeared.Arab Times Kuwait reported that the incident began when two Indian men arrived at the hospital, pushing their friend’s body in a wheelchair. They approached a hospital worker with urgency, insisting that he be taken to a doctor, giving the impression of a sudden medical emergency. Moments after handing over the wheelchair, both men vanished from the hospital, leaving staff stunned. It was only then that they realised the man was already dead and immediately alerted the authorities.Investigators later confirmed through forensic examination that the deceased, also an Indian national, had died of natural causes. While no foul play was involved in the death itself, the behaviour of the two men drew close scrutiny. Authorities discovered that both suspects were living in Kuwait illegally on expired visas and were too afraid to report their friend’s death or seek medical assistance through official channels.Further details revealed that after their friend passed away, the men placed the body in their vehicle and drove to Mubarak Hospital. Believing the area where they parked was not monitored by surveillance cameras, they stopped discreetly. One of the men exited the car to secure a wheelchair and placed the deceased on it, while the other remained inside. Their plan relied entirely on speed and anonymity, with the hope of leaving before anyone noticed.Security authorities acted swiftly once alerted. Surveillance footage allowed them to identify and track the suspects, leading to their arrest in a short time. Both men are now in custody, and legal procedures are underway, including actions related to their residency violations.Officials have emphasised that deaths and medical emergencies must always be reported through proper legal channels. They warned that fear of legal consequences should not lead to actions that complicate investigations or endanger public health and safety.
