A medical examiner from Rhodes is going to the spot where the 67-year-old British tourist was found dead, while his body is expected to be transferred to the Rhodes hospital for the autopsy.
According to the mayor of the island Lefteris Papakalodoukas to SKAI, the unfortunate presenter managed to cross the entire steep slope in hot conditions, but 10 meters before reaching the beach, he fell there – unknown how, maybe he got dizzy or tripped – leaving his last breath helpless , since he didn’t even have his cell phone with him.
