The news of Dakhil Al-Qahtani's death has left social media users in Saudi Arabia in shock and mourning, following his passing due to severe injuries from a serious traffic accident that occurred approximately a month ago. This incident tragically echoes the recent death of his close friend, comedian influencer Abdullah bin Mardah Al-Qahtani, known as "Abu Mardah."
In the wake of the announcement, a wave of grief swept across social media platforms, where influencers and followers expressed their sorrow over the loss of two prominent figures in the Saudi digital landscape within a short span of time. Many remembered their remarkable presence and the videos that showcased their spontaneity and humor.
The accident took place on December 11, 2025, in Hail, located in the northwest of the kingdom. Dakhil Al-Qahtani, along with "Abu Mardah" and their friend "Abu Hasa," was involved in a tragic traffic incident that resulted in Abu Mardah's death at the scene, while Dakhil was critically injured and transported for medical care.
Reports indicate that Dakhil Al-Qahtani was initially admitted to King Khalid Hospital in Hail before being transferred to Prince Sultan Military Medical City in Riyadh, where intensive medical efforts were made to save him. However, his health continued to decline over the following weeks.
With his passing, the Saudi digital community faces renewed sorrow, having lost two of its most notable content creators in a brief period. This painful narrative underscores the harsh realities of traffic accidents and their profound impact on individuals and society.
