Disgraced bishop found dead on Attica beach, postmortem awaited

A postmortem examination is expected to provide authorities with more information regarding the death of former Bishop of Attica, Panteleimon.

The disgraced ex-cleric’s body was found on Wednesday by coast guards on a beach in Keratea, southeast of Athens.

Panteleimon was suspended by the Church of Greece in 2005, when he was linked to a trial-fixing ring.
