The father of the Egyptian artist, Ehab Tawfik, was killed in a fire that broke out Thursday in his house in Nasr City, east of Cairo.

Khaled Bayoumi, a member of the Board of Directors of the Syndicate of Musical Professions in Egypt, said, "The father of the artist Ihab Tawfiq died this morning, Thursday, from injuries sustained in a fire that broke out in a villa he owns and lives in in the Nasr City area."

For his part, a security source in the Cairo Security Directorate revealed to Al-Arabiya.net that the rescue operations room in Cairo had received a fire notification in a residential villa in the department of the first city of Nasr owned by the father of the Egyptian singer, adding that 8 fire engines were paid to control the fire and prevent its spread To neighboring real estate.

And it turned out that the fire broke out due to an electric fireplace during the singer’s father’s sleep, which led to the spread of the fire to the rest of the villa and the difficulty of saving it.

The father of the Egyptian singer was suffocated, and he died. The father was on a different floor than the singer, and no one was able to save him because of the increased fire.
