DUBAI, Jan 7: A tragic incident unfolded in the UAE earlier this week as an Indian expatriate, devastated by the recent death of his twin brother in India, succumbed to a heart attack. The Dubai resident, who had been a part of the community for over eight years, expressed profound grief over the loss of his elder twin, who passed away due to natural causes just three days prior.

According to Indian social worker Ashraf Thamarassery, the inseparable bond between the twins was evident throughout their lives. Both brothers attended the same school and college, shared a common group of friends, and even married twin sisters. The elder twin, residing in India, had always been protective of his younger sibling, who had moved to the UAE for work. Despite the physical distance, the brothers maintained a close connection, with the older twin taking care of the family left behind in India.

The emotional toll of the elder twin’s death earlier in the year weighed heavily on the surviving brother in Dubai. Roommates reported that he was visibly distraught, spending days in tears and struggling to cope with basic daily activities. Tragically, within three days of his brother’s passing, the younger twin expressed a desire to have been taken by God instead. Astonishingly, within half an hour of uttering these words, he succumbed to a heart attack.

The remains of the man, aged in his early 40s, were transported to his hometown, Thiruvananthapuram, in the southern Indian state of Kerala. In a poignant culmination of their lifelong connection, he was laid to rest beside his older twin brother following the completion of the final rites. The story reflects a profound bond that persisted through life and death, a testament to the enduring connection shared by the twin brothers.
