A Moroccan man was found dead inside a home in Ceuta on Thursday, prompting a police and judicial investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.

According to Spanish newspaper El Faro de Ceuta, police responded to an alert before investigators and forensic officers arrived at the scene, along with the duty judge, who examined the site and gathered information related to the incident.

Police detained a woman who was inside the home, while investigators searched for a possible weapon and collected evidence that could help establish what happened and determine potential responsibility.

Authorities cordoned off the home and surrounding area, restricting access while forensic and investigative procedures were carried out.

Investigators are focusing on why the Moroccan man was inside the home and the nature of his relationship with the detained woman, according to the news outlet.

Available information indicates that the man entered Ceuta during the mass attempted entry into the Spanish enclave in July.

The incident comes amid previous complaints from residents of the neighborhood about the presence of migrants in the area, including inside some homes, and concerns over security and living conditions.

The judicial investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to establish the circumstances surrounding the man’s death.
