Tragically ended the life of an elderly woman who fell at noon on Thursday, 25/08, from the bridge across the Strait of Corinth (γέφυρα του Ισθμού της Κορίνθου).
The information indicates that the elderly woman, most likely, decided to commit suicide in this way. Coast guards retrieved her dead from the sea area of the Corinth Canal.
According to the first signs, the authorities have ruled out the possibility of criminal activity and are talking about suicide.
As you know, the Corinthian “Bridge of Suicides” is constantly replenishing the number of its victims. According to korinthostv, the tragic incident took place a year ago. An unknown 45-year-old foreign woman fell into the Corinth Canal under unspecified circumstances, where rescuers found her body with no signs of life.
The woman was taken to the general hospital in Corinth by an EKAB ambulance, where doctors pronounced her dead.
The investigation was conducted by the administration of the port of Corinth and the police authorities of the region. Operational measures were taken to find out whether the woman’s fall was accidental, or whether she decided to die in this way. The autopsy was performed by experts from the forensic service of the Nafplio department. In the end, it turned out that the woman voluntarily passed away.
It is known that the Corinth Canal is a “favorite place” for suicides. Just last year, it was here that several people took their own lives.
In particular, a 43-year-old woman jumped from the “suicide bridge” a year ago. According to loutrakiblog.gr, the incident took place at noon on 6 June. Moreover, the ship passing at that time was stopped and remained immobilized for an hour and a half, while the rescue team carried out an operation to remove the body from the water.
