Money Can’t Buy Life: Saudi Prince Dies After 20 Years in Coma Following Crash
Prince Al-Waleed bin Khalid, a Saudi royal, died at 36 after a 20-year coma resulting from a car accident. Dubbed the “Sleeping Prince,” his case highlights the limits of wealth in the face of severe trauma. Despite millions spent on care and brief moments of responsiveness, he never fully recovered. His death contrasts with the case of Munira Abdulla, who awoke after 27 years in a coma. The Prince’s passing raises ethical questions about long-term life support and the difficult decisions families face.
