In a Facebook post, his niece wrote:
"Indeed, we belong to God and to Him we shall return... My uncle, Major General Mounir Youssef, has passed away. May God have mercy on him, forgive him, and grant him a place in His vast paradise. We ask you to pray for his soul."

Hassan Youssef had left an indelible mark on Egyptian and Arab audiences with a prolific career spanning over five decades. He starred in some of the most memorable films and television series that remain etched in viewers' minds to this day. Known for his unique acting style, strong screen presence, and unwavering artistic commitment, he earned the respect of both the public and his peers.
Despite his advancing age, Hassan Youssef maintained a youthful spirit and the warm smile that endeared him to fans throughout his life and career. His sudden death in 2024 shocked the artistic community, especially after his family confirmed that it was due to natural causes with no prior illness. His bodily functions had simply ceased unexpectedly, with no clear medical explanation.

At the time, the family emphasized that the actor had not suffered from any chronic diseases or serious health issues, making his passing all the more painful for those who knew and loved him—as well as for a broad audience who viewed him as an icon of classic Egyptian cinema.

Today, grief returns to the family with the death of his brother, Major General Mounir Youssef, a man who held great significance in the late actor’s life and among their relatives. The family now mourns the loss of another beloved member in a short span of time.
