The Interior Ministry’s Inspector General Major-General Ibrahim Al Ghaith, who released details of the ongoing investigations into the disappearance of Yousif Ahmed Abbas, said the deceased had a psychological disorder history. The autopsy report confirmed drowning as the cause of the death.
Al Ghaith said that legal investigation was launched on Wednesday as soon as the young man’s family filed a missing person’s case at the Muharraq Governorate Police.
The inquiry determined that the name of Youssef Ahmed Abbas, 24, did not feature in the list of detainees at the General Directorate of Crime Detection and Forensic Science or any of the other security directorates, nor was he wanted in any legal case.
The youth’s parents were informed of the details of the ongoing investigation and assured that the case would not be closed until the circumstances behind his disappearance were known.
At 16:52 on January 13, the police received a call reporting a dead body found off Amwaj Islands, inspected the scene and found a dead body which turned to be that of Yousif Ahmed Abbas, he also said.
“An autopsy performed by the medical examiner determined that Abbas had been dead for more than 24 hours and that the cause of death was drowning,” he explained.
He said that when deceased’s father filed the complaint for his disappearance he mentioned that his son used to go to the beach and often needed assistance coming back home because as he suffered from psychological problems.
