Habib Ghuloom mentioned that the late journalist called him a while ago, asking him if there was any available work opportunity, saying he needed a job after he was dismissed as a journalist.

Haidari added: "Subhy was really suffering from psychological pressure, oppression, sadness, from this profession in which, unfortunately, there is no loyalty."
Furthermore, media outlets reported that Subhy Otry was in Berlin, Germany, when he passed away inside a pharmacy, adding that the TV host died three days ago, but his death was only announced on April 24.
Some said that the reason behind not revealing his death was that he left his Berlin hotel without an ID or a passport, and that's why he was not recognized or identified until his friend reported he was missing.
