An Israeli businessman in his 40s was found dead in a restaurant in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, under circumstances that are still unclear. The investigation is exploring the possibility of poisoning as one line of inquiry. The Israeli Foreign Ministry and the Israeli Embassy in Ethiopia are in contact with the man's family and are working to repatriate his body and clarify the circumstances of his death.
According to initial reports, the businessman, who was engaged in business activities in Ethiopia, was at the restaurant for a social outing. He reportedly went to the restroom and did not return. Colleagues began searching for him and discovered his body inside one of the restaurant's bathroom stalls. While his health was reportedly good, the possibility of poisoning is being considered, though no definitive cause of death has been determined.
Efforts are underway in Israel to bring the body back for an autopsy, which is likely necessary to establish the cause of death. This incident follows another case in March where a 51-year-old Israeli man, Mulu Brahay from Beersheba, died in Ethiopia after being stranded there due to the security situation. His death occurred just two days before a planned Israir rescue flight was scheduled to bring him home.
