An Israeli businessman, approximately 40 years old, was discovered dead in a restaurant in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia. Local authorities are investigating the incident, with poisoning or toxic exposure being the primary working theories. The deceased, who regularly traveled to Ethiopia for business, was reportedly in the restaurant when he excused himself to use the restroom. After a prolonged absence, companions and staff found him unresponsive in a stall. Emergency services and police were immediately called to the scene. Investigators suspect foul play due to the man having no known serious chronic illnesses and reporting no prior health complaints. Forensic and medical experts have not yet released an official cause of death. Ethiopian law enforcement is interviewing witnesses and examining the businessman's recent contacts. The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its diplomatic mission in Addis Ababa are in contact with the man's family and coordinating with Ethiopian authorities to repatriate the body for burial.
