On Saturday October 22,2011 Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud dies in New York hospital. Sultan, 80 years old, was set to inherit the Saudi throne after the passing of the current king. From reports at New York hospital, Prince Sultan was thought to be battling cancer. His body is going to be transported back to his native country for a proper burial ceremony.
The Saudi Prince only had good words spoken about him from family, friends, and allies. Barack Obmana described him as a “valued friend” and “strong supporter of the deep and enduring partnership between our two countries."
After his passing on, the decision of who will inherit the throne is one being watched around the world. Nayef, brother of Sultan bin Andulz Al-Saud, is likely to become next in line for the throne.
