Tragedy in Vancouver, Nasrat Parsa Passes Away
May 08, 2005, Vancouver, BC, Canada
Virtual Afghans has learned from its sources in Vancouver, Canada, that Nasrat Parsa, a well known Afghan artist passed away at 11:15pm on May 9th,
due to a tragic incident that happened outside his hotel room in Downtown Vancouver after midnight when he was followed by a group of angry and outraged group of guys. The incident happened when Nasrat was pushed from the stairs by
a group of four Afghan guys who had consumed alchohol during the concert, in which "they felt embarrassed once they were told by Nasrat that he will not continue singing fast songs because it was not a wedding"; the concert was held in celebration of Mother's Day, which began on Saturday 8pm - 12:30am, in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Nasrat sustained brain injury as he was punched or pushed (unconfirmed) off the stairs. The falling resulted in internal brain bleeding which made the chances of Nasrat's survival very less. Doctors tried their best, but after a while, as witnessed by Virtual Afghans' visitors in Vancouver, Nasrat was unconscious and hsi brain stopped working while other parts of his body was intact and properly working.

Virtual Afghans has also learned that two arrests have been made as police is still investigating the event which shocked Afghan residents in
British Columbia, Canada.
Nasrat Parsa, who was on tour of Canada, performing his first concert in Toronto, Canada,
in which he was greeted by warm welcoming and cheerful crowd. However, such fights and incidents are sadly very common amongst Afghan youth who consume alchohol in such meaningful
cultural events.
Some 150 music loving and Parsa fans had gathered in Vancouver General Hospital in mourn and support when he left us at around 11:45 pm, pacific standard time.
On Mother's Day, Parsa's mother paid the ultimate price and received the worst gift a mother can have on Mother's Day.
May God give her and the rest of Parsa family Sabr'. Our deepest sympathies and condolences go the Parsa's family and close ones.
Translation of middle quoted Pashto poem:
O Death, spare me some more time
Because I am young and with lot of hopes and dreams
