The body of the 19-year-old student from Lykouria Kalavryton, Anastasia Il. Papageli, who was on the fatal train to Thessaloniki, when it collided with a commercial train in Tempi, has been identified.

The 19-year-old student was going to Thessaloniki, where she was studying Agriculture at AUTH, on the fatal train and had boarded the third carriage. No trace of her had been found since the time of the accident. A little while ago, she was identified after DNA samples, extinguishing any hopes, with the family’s drama now unbearable.

According to the announcement of the Rector’s Authorities, AUTH mourns the loss of nine of its students. At the same time, it is reported that there are 26 university students among the injured. “We mourn for our 9 students who lost their lives. We stand by our 26 injured students. We are all devastated. There are no words to describe our pain and that of all members of the University Community. Good heaven to our children. Condolences and strength to the families and loved ones. Good recovery to the injured,” the announcement reads.
