Observer Online Report

A Bangladeshi expatriate worker died after a piece of wood fell on his head from a six-storey building at his workplace in Makkah of Saudi Arabia.

The deceased was identified as Faisal Mia, 28, son of the late Md Chan Mia of Nama Boalia area under Katiadi municipality in Kishoreganj.

He died around noon on Saturday, October 10, after spending two days in an intensive care unit (ICU) at a hospital following the accident.

Family members said, they learned about the accident through acquaintances in Saudi Arabia around 8:00 AM on Thursday, October 8. Faisal was seriously injured when a piece of wood fell on his head from the upper floors of the building where he worked. He was rescued and taken to a hospital, where he received treatment in the ICU for two days.

Faisal had been living and working in Saudi Arabia for around 14 years to support his wife and two children. He was employed by a company in Makkah.

According to his family, Faisal had planned to return home on the 6th of next month. During his last conversation with family members on the night before the accident, he said he would return within 10 to 15 days and urged everyone to maintain family unity.

The family has sought assistance from the Katiadi upazila administration to repatriate Faisal's body. They have also called for financial assistance from the government to support his wife and children.

Katiadi Upazila Nirbahi Officer Shamima Afroz Marliz said, "the administration would provide all possible assistance."

She said, "necessary communication and other steps would be taken to facilitate the repatriation of the body, depending on the current situation and the relevant procedures."
