British Tourist, 71, Found Dead in Sea Near Corfu, Greece; Investigation Launched
A 71-year-old British tourist has tragically died after being found unconscious in the sea near Gouvia, Corfu. The woman was pulled from the water by a lifeguard and rushed to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead upon arrival. The incident has prompted an investigation by the Central Port Authority of Corfu to determine the circumstances surrounding her death.
The tourist was discovered in the water off the coast of the famous Greek island near Gouvia. Despite the quick response from the lifeguard who found her and the efforts to revive her, she could not be saved. The exact cause of death remains unknown, and an autopsy has been ordered to provide more details.
Local media outlet iefimerida reported on the incident, highlighting the involvement of Greek authorities in the ongoing investigation. The Central Port Authority of Corfu is leading the inquiry, which aims to clarify the events that led to the woman’s death. The results of the autopsy are expected to play a vital role in understanding what happened.
This tragedy follows a similar incident earlier this year, where a 44-year-old man was found dead in the sea near the island of Spetses. Known for its appeal to wealthy tourists, Spetses became a mystery site when the man was discovered floating in its exclusive old port area. Reports suggested that the man had suffered a head injury, which may have contributed to his death.
The back-to-back incidents have shadowed typical idyllic tourist destinations in Greece. Authorities continue to investigate these cases to ensure the safety and well-being of island visitors, as the country remains a popular choice for international tourists.
