Mother dies two hours after son's death in Dubai

The sick mother was buried next to her son.

A 90-year-old Emirati mother died on Tuesday, just two hours after the death of her 68-year-old son.  
The already sick mother, based in Dubai, was buried next to her dear son in Al Quoz Cemetery. 
Abdulsalam Saleh, son of the dead mother, said the story unfolded some time back when his brother Ahmad discovered that he had developed neck cancer in November last year (2018). 
"He flew to Germany for treatment and came back home."
He added that their mother, who suffering several diseases because of her old age, fell into a deep coma two months ago.
"My brother Ahmad was receiving treatment at the Rashid hospital where my mother was also hospitalised, but he was declared dead on Tuesday, April 02."
The moment Ahmad was declared dead, the mother recovered from her two-month coma, he underlined.
"Everybody was surprise as she opened her eyes at the same time when Ahmad, whom she used to love so much, was declared dead."
Just two hours after Ahmad's burial, the family returned to the hospital to check on the mother.
"To our shock, the hospital announced the death of my mother shortly after returning from the burial of my brother Ahmad."
"She was then buried next to her beloved son at Al Quoz Cemetery."
