Umer Shah, the younger brother of internet sensation Ahmad Shah, passed away in the early hours of Monday, leaving fans and followers heartbroken across Pakistan and beyond. The tragic news was confirmed by Ahmad Shah’s family through his official social media accounts.
Renowned TV anchor Wasim Badami, who shared a close bond with Ahmad Shah and his family, revealed in an emotional message that Umer passed away around the time of Fajr prayers. Fighting back tears, Badami explained that doctors informed the family Umer suffered from aspiration, a condition where vomit enters the lungs, blocking the airways and cutting off oxygen supply. This led to a sudden cardiac arrest.
Badami urged people to pray for the young soul and the grieving family as they endure this unimaginable loss. Fans and well-wishers across the country have flooded social media with condolences, remembering Umer as the “little shining star” of the family.
In a heartfelt post, Ahmad Shah’s family wrote, “This is to inform you that the little shining star of our family, Umer Shah, has returned to Allah Almighty. We request everyone to remember him and our family in your prayers.”
Medical experts say aspiration can cause severe complications within minutes, often leading to fatal outcomes if untreated.
The tragic death of Umer Shah has cast a shadow of grief, with countless fans offering support and prayers for Ahmad Shah and his family during this painful time.
