Hania

Police in Crete are investigating the death of a 30-year-old American citizen, who suffered fatal injuries when he fell from the roof of the accommodation he was staying in Hania's Old Town.

The man was in Hania for business reasons.

Local media said the man was a soldier.

Police have ruled out the possibility of criminal activity, according to state broadcaster ERT.

Workfromgreece.gr, an initiative of Marketing Greece, carried out a series of actions over the last few weeks in Athens, Paros, Evia, Hania, Kalamata and Syros, with the aim of attracting the interest of digital nomads and remote workers to Greek destinations, as well as to hold a discussion with local tourism communities about the phenomenon of digital nomads.

A man who skinned two stray puppies, removed their nails and hung them last August in Hania on the island of Crete was arrested on Wednesday after he was identified by police forensics teams via DNA testing.

It was the first time police had used DNA analysis to track down a suspect connected with animal cruelty.

Mental health activists and concerned citizens will be gathering at the municipal market of Hania on Crete on Thursday evening to raise awareness about violence against women, at an event held in commemoration of the slain American scientist Suzanne Eaton.

Greek police confirmed on Tuesday evening that the body of a woman found in a cave on Crete is that of an American scientist, missing since last week.
