While Abdullah stopped short of making direct allegations, he didn’t hold back in questioning the gaps in information. “Why did the cause of death keep changing? Why was there never a straight explanation?” he asked, adding that the vagueness surrounding her death was “particularly troubling” given her stature and legacy.
