A Saudi preacher died while leading worshippers during dawn prayers at a packed mosque in the Gulf Kingdom.

The Imam (preacher) has just finished reciting Quran verses and was kneeling down for prayers when he collapsed.

“People rushed to him and lifted him up but he was already dead,” the Arabic language daily ‘Ajel’ said in a report from the Western town of Makkah.
