A New Book Reveals Unpublished Details About the Death of Suad Hosny After 25 Years

The controversy surrounding the death of the late Egyptian artist Suad Hosny has resurfaced following the announcement by Egyptian writer Tarek Saad Al-Sattar of his new book titled "Cinderella: Facts of the Journey to Scotland Yard," which is set to be presented at the Cairo International Book Fair 2026.

The book offers an analytical reading of the last days of Suad Hosny's life, detailing previously unpublished evidence in an attempt to reopen the file on her mysterious death in London in 2001, after she fell from her apartment balcony, amidst ongoing questions about whether the death was an accident, suicide, or a planned crime.

Tarek Saad Al-Sattar explained that the British investigations at the time were filled with contradictions and attempts to conceal evidence, pointing out that previous testimonies were not accurate, and that his work relied on a methodology of forensic and intelligence simulation to arrive at a single scenario that he describes as the "true" account of the incident.

The writer confirmed that his research has led to the discovery of new evidence that could reshape the true picture of Cinderella's life from her treatment abroad until her death, emphasizing that his goal is to close the case file definitively after a quarter of a century of ambiguity and controversy.

Al-Sattar noted that British authorities tried to maintain the official narrative and did not delve into the facts that could reveal a potential crime, which hindered the complete access to the truth for many years.
