Amid Death Rumours, Here Is Imran Khan's Health Update: Suffering From Hearing Loss and Vertigo

Recently, rumours circulated on social media claiming that Imran Khan had died while in prison. These reports turned out to be false. Meanwhile, independent sources confirm that the former Pakistani prime minister is dealing with serious health complaints including hearing loss and vertigo, while incarcerated at Adiala Jail. 

These conditions have caused discomfort and lowered his quality of life while imprisoned, but officials confirm that he remains alive and under medical care. Given the mix of misinformation and genuine health issues, it’s important to separate fact from fiction and understand what we do know about his condition.

In late November 2025, several social media accounts and Afghan-based media outlets claimed that Imran Khan had been killed inside jail. One widely shared post alleged he was “murdered” and that his body was moved out of prison. 

The rumours triggered immediate panic. Prison supporters gathered outside Adiala Jail, demanding proof of life. But Pakistani authorities quickly denied the claims. The jail administration released a statement saying Khan remains in custody, is under ongoing medical supervision, and has not been transferred. Independent fact-checkers also highlighted that footage circulating with the rumours was old and unrelated. 

Thus far, there is no credible evidence supporting the death claims but the wave of misinformation underscores how precarious health-related rumours can be, especially in high-profile, politically charged cases.

The latest formal health report submitted to the court by Adiala Jail authorities outlines several medical complaints by Imran Khan — including ear and dental infections, vertigo, and hearing loss. 

According to the report:

• He has complained of ear pain and tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears), particularly in the left ear. 
• ENT specialists assessed him multiple times between 2023 and 2025. Sensorineural hearing loss was diagnosed, indicating inner-ear or nerve-related damage and vertigo episodes were attributed to inner-ear dysfunction. 
• Despite these complaints, most of his broader medical tests (blood work, liver and kidney functions, lipid profile) reportedly came back normal. 
• Jail doctors and visiting specialists have provided treatment and monitoring, per the submitted documents. 
• While these conditions, hearing loss and vertigo, are not typically life-threatening on their own, they can affect quality of life, balance, and mental well-being, especially in a high-stress jail environment.

Imran Khan’s health struggles come amid ongoing political turmoil and legal battles, with supporters demanding transparency and better prison conditions. His sister, family and party members continue to raise concerns about limited access to medical care and visitations, aggravating the health situation. The situation remains tense, and calls for impartial investigations into his treatment and well-being are growing louder.

Official sources confirm he is alive but closely monitored due to his medical conditions. As the political and health crisis unfolds, accurate information and careful attention to Khan’s well-being are vital to avoid misinformation and undue distress.
