Prosecution reveals shocking developments in the incident of the father and his children's death in Minya

In a tragic incident that shook Minya Governorate in Egypt, a father and his six children died after being exposed to severe poisoning with an insecticide containing a dangerous substance called "Chlorfenapyr", as revealed by official investigations.

Experts in toxicology explained that this toxic substance causes extensive damage to vital organs, especially the liver and kidneys, in addition to damaging the nervous system, and there is currently no effective treatment or antidote for these toxins.

Dr. Mohamed Ismail Abdel Hafez, a professor of toxicology at Minya University, stated that the initial symptoms began with the death of three of the children, where the parents initially thought the cause was spoiled food, but the death of the fourth child confirmed the presence of a toxic substance in the victims' bodies.

He added that the father resisted the effects of the poison for several days before taking his last breath.

On the other hand, Dr. Amira Imam from Damietta University confirmed that "Chlorfenapyr" is a rarely used but highly toxic pesticide, with symptoms of poisoning starting with severe pain, followed by paralysis, vision impairment, respiratory problems, and ultimately sudden cardiac arrest.

The Egyptian Public Prosecution announced that the forensic results confirmed the presence of a toxic substance in the victims' bodies, and ordered a swift investigation into the source of the pesticide, while extensive investigations were conducted after the appearance of severe symptoms such as fever, vomiting, and convulsions.

In a related context, the Egyptian Ministry of Health categorically denied rumors of meningitis infection, confirming that there was no increase in infectious disease rates in the area, and that what happened was not related to infectious diseases.

Authorities are still working to unravel the mystery of this mysterious mass death, amid meticulous field investigations that included visiting hospitals, reviewing medical records, and analyzing samples from neighboring homes of the victims' house, in an attempt to uncover the source of this deadly pesticide.
