Maher had arrived in the city in the morning and had checked into a city hotel. He collapsed in his car in VIP road on way to the airport.
The pilot was 60, the police officer said.
The driver on finding him unconscious drew the attention of the police, who helped to take the pilot to a nearby hospital where doctors declared him 'brought dead'.
