Mummified remains of 60-year-old woman found in Larissa basement

On August 19, 2026, police officers in Larissa, Greece, discovered the mummified remains of a 60-year-old woman inside a basement apartment in the Agios Konstantinos district. The discovery was made by chance following the sale of the property located on 28th October Street, which had remained closed for an extended period.

The body was found on the floor alongside a bag containing an identity card, which authorities are currently using to locate potential relatives. While reports vary regarding the exact time of death—with some sources suggesting several months and others estimating at least one year—the body has been held at the Larissa Forensic Service morgue for a week. Forensic teams have collected genetic material for official identification at the Hellenic Police's forensic laboratories.

Investigations are ongoing as officials wait for the final laboratory results to confirm the victim's identity. Until the identification process is completed, the body will remain in the morgue under the jurisdiction of local forensic authorities.
