Iranian sports journalist Mehdi Shadmani dies at 37
Iranian sports journalist Mehdi Shadmani died early Saturday at the age of 37 after years of fighting cancer.

He died from Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare form of cancer in Tehran’s Baqiyatallah Hospital.

Shadmani will be laid to rest on Sunday in Tehran’s Behesht-e Zahra cemetery.

“I am most thankful and full of praises to Almighty God for granting me this rare opportunity. I wanted to help people [through my job, journalism].

“How can I say it? I enjoy my life, because God has taken notice of me. God takes care for me and fixes broken things in life. God has granted me this nice woman,” Shadmani said a month ago.

Shadmani is survived by his wife and two children.

Tehran Times staff wish to express deepest sympathy and condolences to his bereaved family.
