A 46-year-old man has died of suspected heatstroke on the island of Evia.
Reports say the man was cycling on a street in Halkida, the island’s capital.
Upon his arrival to hospital in an ambulance, he had a body temperature of 41 degrees Celsius.
Attempts to revive him proved unsuccessful, with a hospital statement saying it was possible that the man died after suffering “cardiorespiratory arrest after exposure to very high temperatures.”
An autopsy has been ordered.
