The lawyer of the family of the late Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi said that the prosecution is still investigating the death of the younger son of the president, and that the family is awaiting a burial permit.

Anatolia quoted lawyer Abdel Moneim Abdel Maksoud as saying that prosecutors had begun early Thursday morning to investigate the death of Abdullah, 24.

On Wednesday, Abdullah died of a sudden heart attack, Abdel-Maqsoud, family spokesman Ahmed Morsi and brother of the late Anatolia, said in two telephone calls.

The sources pointed out that Abdullah is in a hospital in Giza Governorate, west of the capital Cairo.

Activists quoted Ahmed Morsi as saying that his younger brother, Abdullah, was driving his car and suffered sudden convulsions, was immediately taken to the hospital, doctors could not activate the heart muscle, which had stopped.

Morsi died during his trial last June, also after a sudden heart attack, as announced by Cairo at the time.

In October 2018, Morsi's family said that security arrested Abdallah from his home west of the capital, Cairo, before releasing him shortly.

Abdallah had previously been arrested in March 2014 on charges of drug possession, which he vehemently denied at the time as a fabricated charge.

The youngest son was sentenced three months after his arrest and was upheld by the Court of Cassation (the country's highest appeals court) in 2015 and sentenced to one year in jail before being released after the expiry of the sentence.

After the death of his father, Abdullah launched a fierce attack on President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and officials, accusing them of killing his father.

The last words of his late father, written by Abdullah, on August 25, through his Facebook page, declaring his rejection of the current authorities, and refused any negotiation with them.

Morsi is the first democratically elected president in Egypt's modern history. He has been imprisoned since he was dismissed by the army in 2013 after just one year in power.
