Body found on Greek island is man missing in severe storm
Greece’s coast guard says it has identified the badly decomposed remains of a person found on an island shore as a 67-year-old man who was reported missing in a storm that struck a week ago.
The man and his 58-year-old wife went missing Sept. 30 on the island of Evia, off central Greece, when their car was found abandoned during torrential rain. The body was found Friday on a rocky shore 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) away from the car.
The coast guard says the search for the woman continues.
A third missing person, a 27-year-old man, was found exhausted but OK on Monday.
