Hosni Mubarak's vice president and Egypt's former head of intelligence Omar Suleiman is dead. News of his death has triggered a storm of reactions on social media networks.
The man, who ran for Egypt's presidential elections but was disqualified for failing to secure enough signatures for his candidacy, has reportedly died in Cleveland, US, while undergoing medical examination.
On Twitter, netizens from around the Arab world, couldn't find much good to say to lament his loss.

Deena Adel notes:
@deena_adel: Omar Suleiman was responsible for countless torture cases & human rights abuses. I have no sympathy for his death, but I won't gloat either.
Sara Salem compares Suleiman with ordinary Egyptians:
@SaraMSalem: Omar Suleiman died while having medical tests in Cleveland. Most Egyptians can't afford to go to a crappy Egyptian public hospital.
