Police are investigating the “mystery death” of a British sailor on Greece’s most glamorous island, dubbed the “island of the rich”.
The 44-year-old’s body was discovered in Spetses, with coastguard officials stating he was “found floating in the sea” in the island’s exclusive old port area.
“There was a gash to the left side of his head, a wound that is puzzling us,” said one official.
“He seems to have been hit. We hope to have answers soon because right now it is a mystery as to how he died.”
The Briton’s body, found on Friday, was due to be transferred to a coroner’s office in the port city of Piraeus, outside the Greek capital.
Spetses, the playground for the rich and famous including members of the now deposed Greek royal family, is a two-hour hovercraft ride away from Athens.
