In the Al Majaz district, a 46-year-old woman died in a fire that broke out in her eighth-floor apartment. Preliminary investigation suggests the blaze may have started during a private ritual she was performing. Police have launched an inquiry into the cause, and her body has been sent for autopsy.

Separately, in Al Nahda, a 33-year-old woman from Kerala and her 16-month-old toddler daughter were found dead in their apartment. Forensic reports indicate the child suffocated possibly by a pillow while the mother died by suicide, hanging herself. A Malayalam note discovered on-site suggests years of emotional distress and abuse, according to local media and social workers. The case is being handled by Al Buhairah Police, who are investigating potential family-related pressures.

These two events, occurring days apart, highlight the profound personal struggles and mental health crises among expatriate women, as well as safety concerns tied to domestic environments abroad. Authorities are continuing their investigations to understand both tragedies fully.
