Part 37 of a series of posts honoring the Grenfell Tower victims.

Unfortunately Abdeslam Sebbar is a Grenfell Tower victim whom almost
nothing is known about, only that he was 77 years old, Moroccan, and died of fume inhalation. He was one of the few people not commemorated at the inquest, and the Guardian reported that attempts to contact his friends or relatives resulted in nothing.

However, in June 2018 the Scottish Daily Mail reported that Sebbar had
sons, and had a final phone call with them before he became a victim of the
fire. Later, a fraudster claimed to be another son of his and claimed money set aside for the Grenfell families; however he was caught and jailed for 18
months.
