Two British tourists have died and two further guests remain critically ill in hospital following an incident at a hotel in Agadir, Morocco.
Discovery and Response
The bodies of the British nationals were discovered on Monday by staff inside a room at an unnamed hotel in the coastal destination. Hotel management contacted the authorities, prompting the attendance of emergency services and police forensic teams.
Two other guests were rushed by ambulance to Agadir's university hospital in a critical condition. The deceased tourists were taken to the morgue at the Hassan II Regional Hospital, where post-mortem examinations will be conducted.
Investigation Underway
Forensic officers carried out a detailed search of the room, gathering samples and physical evidence, whilst investigators also inspected the hotel's roof, kitchen, and surrounding outbuildings.
Local authorities have not confirmed a formal cause of death, although domestic reports indicate that potential factors including food poisoning or a gas leak are being examined. The identities of the four guests have not been disclosed.
A Foreign Office spokesperson told The Mirror: "We are aware of the deaths of two British nationals in Morocco. We are supporting their families and are in contact with the local authorities."
