Egypt’s Minister of Foreign Affairs SamehShoukry affirmed to his Polish counterpart on Friday, during a phone call between the two,Egypt’s commitment to cooperate with the Polish authorities to conduct investigations to clarify the circumstances of a Polish tourist’s death in Hurghada, Egypt, according to a press statement. Egyptian Tourism Police said that the 27-year-old Polish tourist, Magdalena Zuk, committed suicide on 30 April in a hospital in Hurghada, to which she was accompanied “for her own safety”, reported local media. Reportedly, CCTV footage of Zuk in the hospital was released, showing how she was trying to free herself from the bed. Egyptian doctors reportedly said that Zuk’s behaviour was caused by mental illness, particularly depression. Egypt’s Forensic Authority announced earlier in May that an autopsy of Zuk’s body had started; however, results have not been announced.
