A relative of the late doctor told Al-Arabiya.net that Hani tried to save his wife and daughter, but he inhaled a large amount of toxic gases emitted from the fire, which broke out due to the lightning strike, until the rescue teams arrived, which caused him to enter intensive care for three days, to die after that.
Doctor Hani is the father of two daughters, Hala and Hind. He is married to the Jordanian doctor, Arwa Harith Al-Hamoud. He completed his studies in general medicine from the University of Jordan, specializing in general surgery and then colon surgery.
Hani was buried and prayed for in America, and a funeral home was opened for him in the Dabouq area of the Jordanian capital, Amman.
