On Tuesday, the Department of Forensic Medicine issued its final report regarding the cause of Syrian director Hatem Ali's Death.

The report revealed that Ali's death is natural, after taking samples of his body. Also, no signs of violence were found on his body.

Last month, Ali's body was taken from the Zeinhom morgue to the actor Gamal Soliman’s home in Cairo, before being transferred to Cairo Airport in order to be shipped on a Damascus plane.

“The dead body of Hatem left the Zeinhom morgue about an hour ago, after completing the legal procedures and final permits,” Soliman said in statements to Egyptian media. “The body is currently at Cairo airport in preparation for its transfer to Syria in a plane at six in the evening, in the presence of his sons.”

Soliman mentioned that Ali’s sons came to accompany the body of their father until its final resting place.

The Syrian director died of a heart attack in Egypt, at the age of 58.

The news of his death went viral among celebrities and Syrian drama fans last December. Ali is well known for his Andalusia Trilogy, El Malek Farouq, Saladin, Al Taghreba El Falastineya, Omar, Hagar Gohanm, Aala Tool El Ayam, and Aho Dah Eli Sar.
