The cause of death of the artist Ashraf Poseshen
Ashraf Poseshen passed away from our world today after days spent in the intensive care room of a hospital. The artist’s health condition had witnessed a noticeable deterioration recently, which required his transfer to the hospital, where it became clear that he was in dire need of an urgent blood transfusion, which posed a challenge due to the scarcity of his blood type, which made it difficult to obtain it in a timely manner.
A number of the artist’s friends initiated urgent distress calls to the Syndicate of Acting Professions and the Syndicate of Cinematic Professions, hoping to find donors for the rare blood type, but these efforts were not crowned with success due to the delay, which seriously worsened the artist’s health condition.
Despite the doctors’ attempts to save him, fate wanted the artist Ashraf Poseshen to pass away after a painful struggle with the disease, leaving behind a distinguished artistic career, as he participated in a number of important works alongside the major art stars in Egypt.
It is worth noting that Ashraf stayed away from the spotlight during the recent period due to his long health suffering, which confined him to bed, before his condition deteriorated significantly during the past days, bringing his artistic and humanitarian journey to an end with his shocking passing.
