The widow of British man Anthony Barnes, 48, is suing the Jaal Ryad Resort Hotel in Marrakech, Morocco, after he dies in a spa fire in March 2023. Multiple reports say Barnes was staying at the five-star hotel at the time, and that he died while having a massage at the hotel’s spa. The reports also describe Barnes as being on a three-night group holiday arranged through his workplace, travelling with colleagues. The widow’s claim seeks compensation of £500,000, according to the outlets covering the case. The lawsuit alleges fault by the hotel, though the specific grounds of liability and the hotel’s response are not detailed in the provided accounts. The incident is reported to have occurred in the hotel’s luxury spa area, where emergency circumstances led to Barnes’s death. The case is currently at the stage of legal action initiated by his widow, with further details expected as the matter proceeds through the courts.
