KUWAIT CITY, Sep 10: Two Asian expatriates were rushed to Jahra Hospital in critical condition after allegedly consuming a chemical substance believed to be linked to alcohol. The men, aged 25 and 26, both of the same nationality and living together, arrived at the hospital around 8:00 a.m. in a comatose state.
According to security sources, doctors immediately conducted medical examinations, including MRI scans, before transferring the patients to the intensive care unit. The hospital administration promptly notified the Operations Room and the concerned police station.
While the exact cause of their condition remains under investigation, authorities have not ruled out the possibility that the men consumed toxic alcohol. Samples of the suspected substance are being analyzed to confirm whether it was contaminated liquor. Officials noted that similar cases were reported last month, several of which resulted in fatalities.
