Terminating SSH GNU Screen session executed by bash script

Question

I'm trying to run a bash script on my local machine that starts a long-running process in screen in SSH and exit.

Screen and the long-running process runs fine.

But on my host machine, the script hangs which has to be killed manually.

  ssh -tt $SSH_URL <<EOT
  screen -d -r my_session
  # some commands or just do nothing
  screen -d
  EOT

This hags indefinitely.

PS: Terminating SSH session (non screen) is explained here
