Uncle Kahtan takes an afternoon nap. He had a heart attack late one evening in March, but the family couldn't take him to a hospital. It was after curfew, and the police said it was too dangerous to provide an escort. Unable to get treatment, Kahtan died in this room about a week after the photo was taken.
