Family members and local residents reported that Faiz was alone in the room at the time of the incident. While other family members were in different parts of the house and unharmed, Faiz’s screams alerted relatives and neighbors. They attempted to rescue him, but he succumbed to his injuries at the scene before he could be taken to a hospital.
Faiz’s father, Abu Taher, tearfully recounted the tragedy, stating he never imagined such a fate for his son and that the damaged structure of their home contributed to the roof and tree falling.
