  "textContent": "WEB DESK: A man who allegedly killed his wife and four children before attempting suicide in Quetta’s Wahdat Colony passed away at a private hospital on Wednesday, hospital sources and police confirmed.\n\nThe suspect, identified as Asif Khan, had been under intensive treatment since Monday following the horrific incident.\n\nAccording to hospital sources, Khan had been declared brain dead earlier, though his medical team kept him monitored as his heart continued to function.\n\nConcluding that there were no remaining chances of recovery, doctors eventually removed him from ventilator support.\n\n### Medical condition and demise\n\nDespite being taken off life support, Khan’s heart continued to beat independently for two more days. Hospital sources stated that his heart finally stopped at around 1:30pm today, after which he was officially pronounced dead.\n\nThe development follows initial confusion on the first day of the incident, during which police had prematurely declared Khan dead at the scene before he was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.\n\nPolice officials confirmed that his body is being handed over to his family for burial after the completion of necessary legal and forensic formalities.\n\n### Family laid to rest\n\nThe tragic incident has sent shockwaves through the provincial capital. While Khan battled for his life over the last 48 hours, the funeral prayers and burial of his deceased wife and four children had already taken place a day earlier, attended by grieving relatives and local residents.\n\nThe police are continuing their investigation into the exact circumstances and motives behind the killings and subsequent suicide attempt.\n\nThe post Man accused of killing wife, four children in Quetta dies in hospital appeared first on HUM News English.",
