Reema: My brother Ziad al-Rahbani died due to a major medical error

Rima Rahbani claimed that her late Lebanese composer brother, Ziad Rahbani, passed away due to a major medical error, rather than from health complications, as widely reported by media outlets and social media platforms over the past year since his death in July 2025.

Rima Rahbani clarified via her Facebook account that the medical team monitoring his condition in his final days exhibited a degree of negligence. She explained that the main reason for revealing these private details at this time was the spread of rumors, speculation, and misinformation, which had been circulated as facts throughout the past year.
