Ahmed Al-Shakhanbeh, the student who lit himself on fire in a private university campus, has died on Wednesday morning.

Al-Shakhabneh had been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit(ICU) due to his critical health condition, as burns covered more than 40% of his body.

The Ministry of Higher Education had formed a committee to investigate the incident. In addition, the security services summoned the president of the university and listened to his statements before referring the case to the competent judicial authorities.
