However, she was hospitalized a few days ago after she fainted. As Lahoot began to feel better, she decided to return to Tehran with her daughters on June 23.
However, Lahoot fell to the ground while at the check-in counter at around 12:30 a.m. while her daughters were getting information from medics in Iran.
Health personnel were called to the airport and attempted to resuscitate Lahoot for 25 minutes but she was not able to be rescued despite all efforts.
