Magdalena Zuk: Marsa Alam, Egypt

Magdalena Zuk: Marsa Alam, Egypt

We’re taking a short break and using this time to amplify the voices of other creators we love in the true crime space. This week we’re bringing you a story from abroad by Jaimie Beebe of The Last Trip.

On a solo holiday in Marsa Alam, Egypt in April 2017, 27‑year‑old Polish beautician Magdalena Zuk experienced a troubling mental health episode. Hospitalized three days into her trip, she attempted to escape and tragically fell from a hospital window—dying hours later in Hurghada. Her death, officially ruled a suicide by Egyptian authorities, sparked widespread speculation back in Poland, including rumors of foul play, sex trafficking, and cover-ups amid concerns over Egypt's tourism image.
