July 19, local time,The Saudi Arabian royal family announced the sad news: Prince Alwaleed bin Khalid, who had been in coma for nearly 20 years due to a car accident, passed away at the age of 36.Dubbed the "Sleeping Prince" by the media, this young man's life trajectory was completely rewritten by a car accident when he was 16 years old.
Prince Alwaleed was born in April 1990. He is the eldest son of Saudi Prince Khalid bin Talal and the nephew of the famous billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.In 2005, he was involved in a serious car accident in London, England, which resulted in severe brain damage and internal bleeding, and he fell into a deep coma.
Although he was rushed back to Saudi Arabia and received treatment from a top medical team, he never regained consciousness. For a long time, he only relied on the life support system to continue breathing, and the occasional slight movement of his fingers became the only glimmer of hope for his family.
According to an announcement from the Saudi royal family, his funeral prayer ceremony will be held on July 20 at the Imam Turki bin Abdullah Mosque in Riyadh.
