Romanian doctor found dead in Zakynthos olive grove

Silvia Lungu, a 64-year-old retired senior nephrologist from Iași, Romania, has been found dead on the Greek island of Zakynthos. Her body was discovered by a local resident in an olive grove in the Ano Gerakari area, approximately three kilometers from where she was last seen.

Lungu had been missing for approximately two weeks after failing to appear for organized excursions from her hotel in the Alykanas area. Her personal belongings, including her phone and documents, were left in her hotel room. Authorities have taken her body for autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.

Lungu had a significant medical career, having served as one of the founding doctors of the dialysis department at the ‘Dr. C. I. Parhon’ Clinical Hospital in Iași. She retired four years ago due to medical issues.
