A week after the death of an Amir Kabir University student, another student named Youssef Soeizi also suffered a "cardiac arrest" and passed away. The Amir Kabir newsletter announced on Wednesday, June 7, that Youssef Soeizi, a graduate student in mining engineering who entered in 2022, died of a heart condition in the Sheikh Al-Islami dormitory. Forensic officials have ruled out foul play and reported that toxicology and pathology tests are being conducted to determine the cause of this young student's death. According to the Amir Kabir newsletter, some students have linked Youssef Soeizi's death to the university's cafeteria food and recent food poisoning incidents among several students. Last week, Basir Ebrahimpour, a mechanical engineering student at Amir Kabir University, also suffered a cardiac arrest on June 1 and died. The Telegram channel of the "National Student Guilds" has attributed Basir Ebrahimpour's death to the negligence of university officials and the delay of Amir Kabir University's emergency services in providing timely assistance. According to this student council, following Basir Ebrahimpour's cardiac arrest, the university's emergency services did not take action, and an ambulance from outside the university arrived 45 minutes later to address the situation. The board of directors of Amir Kabir University described Basir Ebrahimpour in their condolence message as a "diligent and talented student" and stated that "despite the timely presence of the emergency services stationed at the university and his transfer to the hospital and the efforts of the doctors, the resuscitation efforts were not effective." The National Student Guilds have accused the Amir Kabir University board of dishonesty, stating that this statement "falsely" claimed that "the university's emergency services were able to arrive on time and transfer the student to the hospital." The delay of the university's emergency services in responding to student situations and their deaths due to the negligence of the stationed rescuers in educational centers has a history. Mohaddeseh Bakhtiari, a sports science student at Zanjan University, also died on May 1 after an accident within the university premises. The "National Student Guilds" channel attributed this student's death to the "negligence" of the managers and the emergency department's failure to quickly transfer her to the hospital.
