The body of a 67-year-old British national was recovered from a remote area in Megalo Spileo, Kalavryta, according to a police announcement on Friday. According to the announcement, the British national had gone to the location with a fellow Briton to watch passing aeroplanes. However, the 67-year-old lost consciousness, for as yet unknown reasons, and his companion called for help.
Two fire engines and seven firefighters went to the location and recovered the body, which was afterwards taken to a Kalavryta hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The body will be sent to the coroner in Patras for an autopsy-post mortem examination to determine the cause of death.
