Journalist Humayun Kabir dies with COVID symptom

Dainik Somoyer Alo city editor and chief reporter Humayun Kabir Khokon, 47, died at Regent Hospital at Uttara in the capital with coronavirus symptoms on Tuesday.

‘He was admitted to our hospital at about 7:00pm in an unconscious state and was declared dead at the hospital’s Intensive care unit at about 9:45pm,’ the hospital’s public relations officer Tarique Shibli told New Age.

Quoting his family members and doctors, he said that Humayun had been suffering from breathing problems and cough for past three days.

‘Doctors at our hospital suspected that he was suffering from coronavirus though his family could not show us any coronavirus test report,’ he said.

He said that Humayun’s wife told them that they went to different hospitals in the city for admitting him but they refused to provide him with treatment.

‘We came to know about his illness Tuesday afternoon with coronavirus symptoms from a journalist leader and brought him to our hospital for treatment,’ he said.

Humayun, also president of Brihottor Cumilla Sangbadik Samity, had earlier worked for different media outlets including Amader Somoy and Dainik Manabzamin.
