Tourists Found Dead in Hotel Suite Identified

Three women with U.S. nationality were found dead in their suite at the Royal Kahal Beach Resort in San Pedro on Saturday morning. Reports indicate that the women, identified as Kaoutar Naqqad (23), Imane Mallah (24), and Wafae El-Arar (26), held US citizenship and were born in Morocco. They had checked in to the hotel on February 19.

According to reports, housekeeping staff made several attempts to reach the women but received no response. Just before midday on Saturday, the staff used a master key to access the room and found the women unresponsive in different places in the room.

The authorities were immediately alerted. Emergency responders confirmed their deaths. Vomit and froth around the women’s mouths led authorities to suspect a possible drug overdose. Police found no signs of forced entry or injuries on the women.

Surveillance footage confirmed they entered the resort on Thursday and were not seen to exit the suite after that. Among the belongings of the women, authorities found items including snacks, vapes, and gummy bear candies.

A post-mortem examination is pending, and police are reviewing the surveillance footage.

This remains an ongoing investigation.
