 King Faysal , who recently returned to Iraq from a medical vacation , was very stressed during the crisis . His health deteriorated even more during the hot summer days in Baghdad . The British Chargé d 'Affaires met him in his Pajamas squatting in his bed on 15 Augusts where he denied that a massacre was committed in Simele . Faysal left Iraq again on 2 September seeking a cooler climate in London where he died 5 days later .
