The family of a British businessman who died while on holiday in Morocco is seeking clarity regarding the circumstances surrounding his death and the location of his burial. Allen McKenna, 47, collapsed in Casablanca in February, while accompanying his 25-year-old Moroccan girlfriend, Majda Mjaoual.

According to reports, Mr McKenna's father, Alan Moorhead, from Harrogate, North Yorkshire, was alerted to the tragedy through a video call from Ms Mjaoual on February 22. During the call, Mr Moorhead observed his son's body in the background. Ms Mjaoual informed him that Mr McKenna had suffered a fatal heart attack. However, the family asserts that they have not received a death certificate or a coroners report to confirm the cause of death.

It has been revealed that Ms Mjaoual buried Mr McKenna just two days after his death but has not disclosed the specific location of his grave. This has left Mr Moorhead and his family in a state of distress as they attempt to discover where he was laid to rest. "It's soul destroying. I don't know where to move, I don't know what to do," Mr Moorhead told 9News. He expressed a desire to bring his son back to Australia for closure, stating, "He deserves better. He deserves to come back here to South Australia and then all the family can have closure."

The lack of communication from Ms Mjaoual has further compounded the family's anguish. Mr Moorhead noted, "It's just unbelievable. She's not answering any messages, phone calls, texts - nothing. I just want my lad back."

Mr McKenna was an alumnus of the University of South Australia and, at the time of his passing, was managing three British companies, including a brewery. His father, who now resides in Adelaide, is determined to bring his son home, emphasising the need for resolution for the family.

The Foreign Office has confirmed that they are supporting the family following Mr McKenna's death and are liaising with Moroccan authorities. Additionally, North Yorkshire Police, Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs, and Interpol are reportedly involved in the investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.
