The bodies will be taken to the hospital tomorrow for an autopsy
Two little children were among the eighteen people found dead, charred in the forest of Dadia, near the area of Avanda in Evros, as reported by the coroner of Alexandroupoli Mr. Pavlos Pavlidis
He examined the charred human bodies macroscopically at the spot where they were found and told APE-MPE that: “there were a total of eighteen charred bodies, all men, and two of them were children. They were all found in groups of two or three at a distance of five hundred meters, apparently while trying to escape and some of them had been burned in a corral. As the police officers who accompanied me explained to me, the area is a passage for irregular immigrants, on the way from the border to the interior, through the Rhodope mountain range.”
Mr. Pavlidis explained that the bodies will be taken to the hospital tomorrow for an autopsy.
Information about the location of another eight bodies, in a different place, was not confirmed by the medical examiner.
The dead estimated to be immigrants as there is no, as said by the representative of the Fire Department, Giannis Artopioos, a declaration of disappearance of people from the area. The dead migrants were found in two groups while he rushed Police disaster identification team.
In particular, Mr. Artopoios said:
In the fire of Alexandroupolis, in an on-site inspection by Fire Department officials in the wider area of Avanda, the bodies of 18 people were found near a paraparigma.
Given that from the surrounding areas there have been no reports of disappearances or missing persons residents, the possibility that these are people who entered the country illegally is being investigated.
It is recalled that since yesterday, 112 evacuation messages had been sent for the wider area.
It is noted that, messages are also transmitted to mobiles from foreign networks located in the area.
The disaster victim identification team has already been activated by the Greek police headquarters.
The investigations along the entire length of the area where the fire occurred and is ongoing, they continue.
