Mystery surrounds identity of young girl found dead on Palaio Faliro beach

·

Authorities are investigating the tragic discovery of a young girl’s body found lifeless on a beach in Palaio Faliro, Athens, early on Sunday morning.

The child, whose identity remains unknown, has not been claimed by anyone.

Initial reports estimated the girl’s age at around two years old, but a statement from the Hellenic Coast Guard later revised the estimate to between three and three and a half years old.

She was reportedly wearing a long-sleeved, full-body bathing suit and bore no visible injuries. No missing persons reports have been filed matching her description, and there has been no indication of a child lost at sea.

The Coast Guard is urging anyone with information to contact them at 210 9829759 or 210 8946326.
