The recent death follows the tragic news of British TV presenter Michael Mosley, whose body was found on Simi Island after days of searching. Additionally, a 79-year-old Dutch tourist was found dead on Samos Island last Saturday. These incidents highlight the potential dangers faced by tourists during Greece’s intense heatwave.
