A homeless man was found dead Friday morning in the Ziana neighborhood of Tetouan, local sources reported, prompting a judicial investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.

Authorities suspect the death may be linked to harsh winter conditions and the ongoing cold wave affecting the region, according to the sources. Local officials and security services quickly arrived at the scene to conduct preliminary inspections and follow standard legal procedures.

The body was transferred to Tetouan’s morgue for an autopsy or medical examination, under instructions from the relevant public prosecutor, to determine the cause of death and clarify the circumstances.
