Recent investigation into two separate death cases in Cyprus
Authorities in Cyprus are handling two separate death investigations. In the Paphos district, 78-year-old Achilleas Michael was found dead in a field near Praitori on May 11, following a missing person report from May 8. A post-mortem examination identified marks on his leg potentially caused by a viper bite, though scientific analysis is pending to confirm the exact cause of death. Separately, British Bases police are investigating the death of an unidentified individual whose charred body was found in a burnt-out vehicle near a fish farm in Liopetri on May 11. The vehicle is linked to a 77-year-old man from Xylofagou who had been reported missing since May 10. The investigation is complex, with authorities currently evaluating forensic evidence from the scene and waiting for DNA results for identification. Police have urged the public to avoid speculation while inquiries continue. Meanwhile, snake experts have warned the public to exercise caution as rising seasonal temperatures increase snake activity.
