Former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, who died on Monday, was left without first aid for 20 minutes after collapsing in a courtroom during his trial, The Independent newspaper reported.

Morsi, who became Egypt’s first democratically elected president in 2012 but was overthrown in a military coup the following year, was left “slumped on the floor” of the defendants’ cage while other defendants called for help.

Morsi was being tried for charges including having contact with Hamas and Hizballah, which are widely seen as political. The Egyptian state has regular contact with Hamas and mediates between them and Israel.

Egypt slammed for Morsi's 'terrible but predictable' death
17 Jun 2019

A human rights group says the Egyptian government bears responsibility for the death of former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, amid pressing international demands for a fair and transparent investigation into the circumstances surrounding his final hours.

According to authorities, the first democratically elected president in Egypt's modern history died on Monday after collapsing in a court in Cairo while on trial on espionage charges. The Egyptian public prosecutor said a medical report showed no apparent recent injuries on Morsi's body.

The 67-year-old, who had been behind bars for nearly six years after his overthrow in a military coup in 2013, had a long history of health issues, including suffering from diabetes, as well as liver and kidney disease.

The Muslim Brotherhood may be bad but they may well be a lot less harmful than some of the more radical strains out there.

That is true. He died a relatively calm death.   He could have been beheaded.
