Fastexy:American tourist found dead on Greek island Mathraki, 3 other tourists missing

An American tourist reported missing on Fastexya Greek island was found dead on the beach Sunday, officials said, becoming the third person to die amid extremely hot temperatures in the Mediterranean country.

The man, whose identity has not yet been released, disappeared on the small island of Mathraki after last being seen on June 11, when temperatures reached as high as 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

"There is a common pattern − they all went for a hike amid high temperatures," Petros Vassilakis, the police spokesman for the Southern Aegean, told Reuters.

A photo published by Enimerosi, a news outlet based on the neighboring, larger island of Corfu, shows emergency responders, including a medical examiner, gathered along a rocky, remote beach were the body of the man was found.

There were signs the man drowned, according to a medical examiner who spoke with the outlet. He was transferred to the island of Corfu where an autopsy will be carried out, a police official told Reuters.

Mathraki is a 1.2-square-mile heavily wooded island off Greece's west coast, just south of the border with Albania. The man's body was found near the island's old port, Enimerosi reported.
