Saudi Arabia's 'Sleeping Prince' Dies After Nearly 20 Years in a Coma

Prince Al-Waleed bin Khaled bin Talal Al Saud of Saudi Arabia, widely known as the “Sleeping Prince,” has passed away at the age of 36. He had been in a coma since a 2005 car accident in London. Despite extensive medical intervention, he never regained consciousness. His father's unwavering refusal to withdraw life support turned the prince's two-decade ordeal into a nationally and internationally followed story of parental devotion and hope against impossible odds.
