Missing tourist found dead on Greek island just days after Michael Mosley disappearance

A missing American tourist has been discovered dead on a beach on a Greek island. According to local media, the man's body was found on Sunday, June 16.

Another tourist found his body on a rocky, fairly remote beach on the island of Mathraki - west of Corfu. He had been reported missing on Thursday by his host, a Greek-American friend.

The tourist was last seen on Tuesday at a cafe with two female tourists who have since left the island. No further details about the man, including his name or hometown, have been released.

Mathraki - which has a population of just 100 - is a 1.2-square-mile heavily wooded island. The recent death is the latest in a string of cases in where tourists on Greek islands have died or gone missing.

Some, if not all, had set out on hikes in very hot temperatures. Dr Michael Mosley was found dead earlier this month on the island of Symi.

A coroner concluded he had died days before his body was found. He died shortly after going for a hike over difficult, rocky terrain.

A 74-year-old Dutch tourist was found by a fire department drone on Saturday lying face down in a ravine about 300 metres from the spot where he was last seen walking with some difficulty in the blistering heat. On Friday, two French tourists were reported missing on Sikinos - a relatively secluded Cyclades island in the Aegean Sea, which has less than 400 permanent residents.

The two women, aged 64 and 73, had left their hotels to meet. On the island of Amorgos, also in the Cyclades, authorities are still searching for a 59-year-old tourist reported missing since Tuesday.

He had gone on a solo hike in very hot conditions. US media identified the missing tourist as retired Los Angeles County deputy sheriff Albert Calibet, of Hermosa Beach, California.
