Nacef Mohamed Zin-Eddine, a member of the Algerian diaspora living in Arizona in the United States of America, died last December.

After presenting its sincere condolences following this tragic news, the Consulate General of Algeria in New York announced that “the remains of the deceased will be transported to Algeria for his burial, and this, after completion of the applicable procedures”. .

The remains of the deceased risked being cremated
It should be recalled that a member of the Algerian diaspora in the USA had posted a message on Facebook in the hope of finding the contact or locating a member of the family of the deceased in Algeria or in America.
Indeed, in his message, he had indicated that “the remains of the deceased risked incineration during this month of January, if no member of his family presented himself to the local services in order to claim his body for burial”. .
Moreover, he had also attached to his appeal a letter from the Department of Public Health of the County of Maricopa in Arizona (USA) which had left his contact for any information concerning the deceased or his family.
However, the same document did not fail to note that “in the event that he did not receive a response within 15 days of the date of the letter, the competent services would proceed to the cremation of the remains of the deceased Zin-Eddine”.
