The man’s family filed a missing person report with the Wadi Al Dawasir police after losing contact with him. The rescue teams launched a wide-scale search to find Al Ajaleen, who was driving a pickup truck

The Ghawth search teams then intensified the search for Al Ajalin using four-wheel drive vehicles and gliders to expand the scope in the rough areas and sand dunes. Then, his body was found a few metres away from his vehicle.

The truck was loaded with sticks, in a sign that the deceased was gathering wood for his family when he went missing.

Prayers poured into social media platforms after the video of Al Ajaleen who died in Sujood went viral.
