As a result of being hit by live ammunition. He was at the protests together with his wife and lost his life in his wife's arms. Amirhossein had been shot from the roof of a mosque, and the bullet had hit his face; a bullet they had not been able to remove from his head, and he has been buried with that same bullet in his face. He worked at a company distributing pharmaceutical and food products. His body was handed over to his family at Kahrizak, and they had been told that terrorists had martyred him and that he must be declared a martyr, which his family had opposed.
