Ashraf was confirmed to have been fatally shot in the back of her head killing her on the scene. Her funeral was held on March 29, 2014 in Estanhaa Village at El Monotia.
  Her case is known in Egypt as one of the "Ain Shams incidents" among the Post-coup unrest in Egypt because Ains Shams is the district around the Ain Shams University with a demographic of Morsy supporters, and is a site where there were multiple protests.
context_section_description: Mayada Ashraf was killed on Friday March 28, 2014, while covering the clashes between the Muslim Brotherhood and the Egyptian Military coup in one of the many anti-el-Sisi protests in the Ain Shams district of Egypt. This district is near Ain Shams University. The clashes began after President Morsi was ousted by el-Sisi in a coup and Morsi supporters demanded the resignation of el-Sisi. The account from the Morsi supporters say Ashraf was fatally shot in the head in the midst of police fire while reporting on an anti-el-Sisi demonstration. In the official account and the one supported by Al-Dostour, Ashraf's last report said that the shots were being fired by Morsi supporters into the crowd. Ashraf was proclaimed dead in the suburb area of Ain Shams in Cairo with a gunshot wound to the head. In the event of Mayada's death, Al-Dostour claimed to have made pleas publicly on the online news website for help to be sent to the location to take Ashraf's body out of Ain Shams. Due to the crowded streets filled with protesters the ambulance called was unable to reach Ashraf in time to save her, leading to her on site death in Ain Shams.
