Search and rescue efforts have been phased out as a 29-year-old French tourist who was reported missing was found dead in the Chania area of Crete.
The young woman was expected to return home to France on Tuesday, but the family reported her missing, warning the Greek authorities.
Violet was on vacation in Crete alone. Local media reports that on her supposed last day on a Greek island, she rented a car to drive to the world famous beach. Elafonisi… She has not been seen since. The car was found in a remote area near Elafonisi.
The last SMS message to her family was sent on June 24th. Dozens of police officers, joined by volunteers, took part in the search and rescue operation. In addition, a police helicopter was used.
Cause of death of a tourist
Law enforcement agencies are examining new evidence that death of a 29-year-old Frenchwoman was not due to a fall, but due to heatstroke.
According to neakriti.gr, the police found the body of 29-year-old Violet Gigano on the slope, which was about five hundred meters to the right of the E4 highway from Elafonisi to Cryo. She was lying on her back, and there were no obvious signs of falling. After a few days and due to weather conditions, the corpse was badly decomposed.
According to preliminary data, the unfortunate girl suffered a heat stroke and lost consciousness. Her clothes and ammunition, which she had with her, were not suitable for hiking trails in such hot conditions.
The 29-year-old girl was dressed in black clothes and a black hat that absorbs sunlight, and empty water bottles found next to her indicate that the reserves of life-giving moisture have been depleted.
It is considered likely that when she was tired of the hike, she continued on her way to the track to find herself in a shady place. Perhaps from the heat, the Frenchwoman lost consciousness and fell.
The forensic medical examination will shed light on the exact reasons leading to the death of the unfortunate nurse from France.
Tragic irony: she only had 10 minutes to walk to her car! But the strength left her, which led to her death. The girl’s passion for learning about nature turned out to be fatal.
