Prince Abdul Azim died of multiple organ failure due to an autoimmune disease, his younger brother revealed.
Prince Abdul Mateen said in an Instagram post that his brother was diagnosed with severe systemic vasculitis earlier this year, a condition characterized by inflammation of the walls of blood vessels.
“At the same time, he was also dealing with bipolar disorder, which made fighting difficult,” Prince Abdul Mateen said on Tuesday.
“Eventually my brother succumbed to multiple organ failure caused by persistent infections due to autoimmune disease.”
Prince Abdul Azim died last Saturday and was buried in the Royal Mausoleum the same day. He was 38 years old.
Brunei is now in a seven-day period of mourning.
Prince Abdul Mateen, 29, said he shared the details of his brother’s death, as that was what the late prince would have wanted. “He was a great advocate for raising awareness of different causes,” said Prince Abdul Mateen.
The post was accompanied by a black and white children’s photo of them having fun.
In paying tribute to his older brother, Prince Abdul Mateen said that there was never a dull day when “Abang Azim” was present.
“He always loved to joke with us, joke around and he never took life too seriously. Their laughter was so infectious that regardless of whether it was funny or not, everyone ended up laughing too.
“He definitely lived life to the fullest,” he posted. – Borneo / ANN Bulletin
