Khorshid died in a horrible car accident in front of Khristo's restaurant in Egypt in 1981. His Lebanese wife as well as the artist Madiha Kamel, who were with him at the time of the accident, confirmed that an unknown car was chasing them until its driver forced Khorshid to crash into a street light.

So, who killed Omar Khorshid?

Some say that a famous politician was behind his death while others argue that he was killed because he travelled with President Anwar Sadat to Washington to sign the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel.
