This is the best summary I could come up with:


Dr Michael Mosley, a noted British TV anchor and author, was found dead last Sunday on the island of Symi.

The body of the 74-year-old Dutch tourist was found by a Fire Service drone lying face down in a ravine about 300 meters (330 yards) from the spot where he was last observed on Sunday, walking with some difficulty in the blistering heat.

On Friday, two French tourists were reported missing on Sikinos, a relatively secluded Cyclades island in the Aegean Sea, with less than 400 permanent residents.

A 70-year-old American tourist was reported missing on Thursday on the small island of Mathraki in Greece’s northwest extremity by his host, a Greek-American friend.

US media identified the missing tourist as retired Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff Albert Calibet of Hermosa Beach, California.

Popi Despotidi, the island’s deputy mayor of tourism, told CNN: “It’s unlikely he got lost as he has been coming here for 10 years and has walked all over Amorgos.”


The original article contains 639 words, the summary contains 162 words. Saved 75%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

Heat + Old(er) + Rocky Greek Island + Hiking = Death

I think this math checks out.

Yeah I dunno if this is “news” news but it’s certainly sad. But probably nothing but accidents.
