Death and legacy
According to Jamil Fakhri's family, he first learned on 7 December 2010 that his son, Ali Ayaz Fakhri, had been kidnapped and later killed in the U.S. where he was living. Details about his son's gruesome murder reportedly were that he was cut up into pieces and then set on fire. This really distressed the actor and took a heavy toll on his health for several months until finally he had a stroke on 31 May 2011 and was taken to a hospital. He stayed in a coma there for many days and died on 9 June 2011 at Lahore, Pakistan.[1][3]
He left behind three other sons, and a widow.[3] Farrukh Bashir, General Manager of Pakistan Television, Lahore Center, expressed his feelings on his death by saying that Jamil Fakhri had remained associated with PTV for a long time and was very loyal to it. With his death, PTV had also lost a great artist. He was buried in Miani Sahib Graveyard, Lahore near the Shrine of Ilm-ud-Shaheed.[3]
