Seventeen-year-old Alex Binoy, a Grade 12 student, tragically loses his life in Abu Dhabi
In a heartbreaking incident, a 17-year-old Indian expatriate boy died after falling from a residential building in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Thursday, April 24, reported siasat.com.
Alex Binoy, a native of Thottara, Kerala, and a student of Abu Dhabi Indian School, succumbed to injuries after a fall from the third floor of his building.
According to reports, the incident occurred around 3:30 pm in the Tourist Club area. Alex, who had recently completed his final exams and was eagerly awaiting his results, tragically fell from the third floor of the building where he resided. His father, Parayil Binoy Thomas, an employee at ADNOC, was alerted by the building’s watchman.
Despite being rushed to Sheikh Khalifa Hospital with critical injuries, Alex was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. The teenager had dreams of pursuing a career in photography.
The tragedy adds to a growing list of similar incidents involving Indian nationals in the UAE in recent months.
Alex is survived by his parents and two elder brothers. This incident follows two similar cases: in December 2024, a 40-year-old Indian graphic designer died in Sharjah, and in May 2024, a 37-year-old Indian social media influencer passed away after falling from a high-rise in Fujairah.
