Lycavettos: Missing woman identified after body found in cave
A 57-year-old woman, who had been reported missing from the Kypseli area since August 6, has been identified as the body found in a cave on Lycabettus Hill. The remains were discovered by a passerby near the Chapel of Agios Isidoros in an advanced state of decomposition.
Initial forensic findings suggest the woman's death was likely caused by a fall from a height, a theory supported by a fracture found on her arm. Forensic experts estimate her death occurred approximately one and a half to two days prior to discovery.
Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances of her disappearance and her movements leading up to the incident to determine whether the death was an accident, suicide, or involved other factors. A full autopsy is expected to provide definitive details regarding the exact cause and time of death.
