Mummified remains found in Larissa apartment following property sale

On August 19, 2026, police in Larissa, Greece, discovered the mummified remains of a 60-year-old woman in a basement apartment on 28th October Street. The grim discovery occurred by chance during procedures following the sale of the property in the Agios Konstantinos district. Police found the body on the floor alongside a bag containing an identity card, which is currently being used to search for the woman's relatives.

While initial estimates suggest the death occurred several months to over a year ago, the exact timeline remains under investigation. The Hellenic Police have collected genetic material, which is being processed by forensic laboratories to confirm the victim's identity. The body currently remains at the Larissa Forensic Service morgue, with official identification results expected in the coming days. Authorities are continuing to look into the circumstances surrounding the death to clarify how the woman remained undiscovered for such an extended period.
