The prince’s condition drew attention from across the world, with many viewing him as a symbol of perseverance and faith. On July 19, 2025, at the age of 36, he pass€d aw@y peacefully. His funeral prayer was held the following day at Imam Turki bin Abdullah Mosque in Riyadh. Tributes poured in from across the Middle East, and the hashtag #SleepingPrince trended online as people shared their condolences and remembered his extraordinary journey.
