A woman, 71, and a man, 58, have both been discovered in the same tourist town of Hersonissos in Greece
Two Brits have been found dead in their hotel rooms in Crete.
Police found the bodies of a 71-year-old woman and a 58-year-old man in their respective hotel rooms in Hersonissos, a popular town among British tourists in the Greek island of Crete.
Both British nationals were found on Wednesday. Cops are currently treating the deaths as unrelated, Greek media reports.
In the 71-year-old woman’s case, her son found her unresponsive in the room of the hotel they were staying in. Emergency services raced to the scene after he reported it to hotel staff. She was tragically declared dead at the scene.
Just hours later at a different hotel in the same town, a British man was also found dead. He was taken to hospital in an ambulance but was said to be dead on arrival.
Both Brits are thought to have had past health issues, with autopsies currently underway to shed “light” on both cases, Greek cops said.
It comes a day after a British man died after getting into difficulties while diving off the coast of Majorca with four pals.
According to local reports, the male was described as being Scottish and aged 49. He began facing trouble in the water at around 11am today at Cala d’Or – a resort area on the southeast coast of the holiday island. Four dive companions, thought to be friends, are said to have been with him at the time and helped him out of the water.
They began trying to resuscitate the man before medical emergency responders took over after he reached dry land. But tragically, nothing could be done to save him and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Civil Guard have launched a routine investigation. The police force could not be reached for comment. It was not immediately clear if the dead man was holidaying in Majorca or lived on the island.
