Greek coast guard recovered a badly decomposed body from the sea approximately 4 nautical miles west of Naxos on Wednesday, according to the Hellenic Coast Guard. The body was wearing a full diver's suit and swim fins when it was retrieved by a coast guard vessel and brought to Naxos port. The advanced state of decomposition made immediate identification impossible. Port authorities are now conducting a formal investigation into the case. The identity of the deceased has not been established, and no additional details about the circumstances of the death have been released. The coast guard has not confirmed how long the body may have been in the water, and no missing persons case has been publicly linked to the discovery. Investigators are expected to carry out the standard procedures for identification, which may include forensic and DNA analysis. #Naxos #Greece #BreakingNews
