Overview
- The hotel room discovery, which occurred on Monday, left two British guests dead and two other guests taken to Agadir’s university hospital in critical condition.
- Local police and forensic teams have examined the room, collected samples and transferred the bodies to Hassan II Regional Hospital for post-mortem examinations.
- The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office confirmed it is supporting the families and is in contact with Moroccan authorities over the case.
- The name of the hotel and the identities of the deceased and hospitalized guests have not been released, and reports say the property was inspected for accommodation standards and safety procedures.
- The incident follows the October death of British tourist Clare Mitchell in Agadir and may prompt tougher safety checks and closer consular scrutiny for UK holidaymakers visiting the city.
