A UK seaman's death in unknown circumstances near a Greek island is under investigation.
A man, who was from Britain, was discovered floating in the sea with head injuries off the beautiful island of Spetses in Greece. The island, known for its exclusivity, is located in the southeastern Attica region. It was on Friday when his body was found in the water near the island's port area. According to reports from The Sun, the man, who was in his forties, was participating in an annual yachting regatta that takes place near the small island.

The coast guard shared that the man's body was spotted and immediately brought to a local hospital. However, even with their quick response, they were not able to save him as he was pronounced dead. Sky News reported that he had injuries on the left side of his head, and an autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of his death.

Sources from Greek media revealed that the sailor was part of a team competing in a classic yacht regatta that happens every year from June 26 to 29. This event attracts numerous yachts, making it a popular and exciting competition. The island of Spetses, with its rich history, is home to a small population of only 3,748 people. In recent years, it has also gained attention in the film industry, with movies like "The Lost Daughter," starring Olivia Colman, and "Glass Onion," a mystery-comedy, being filmed there.

This tragedy comes not long after the passing of another man on a Greek island. Just a few weeks ago, TV doctor Michael Mosley went missing on the island of Symi and was later found dead. The 67-year-old collapsed after taking a long walk from a beach trip and was discovered in a rocky area near a busy beach. Both incidents serve as a reminder of the importance of safety and being cautious, especially when participating in water activities.

As authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding this man's death, let us keep his loved ones in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
