Indian immigrant dies of exposure under Rethymnon bridge
Alcohol and cold killed a 43-years old man
An 43-year-old Indian man was found dead under a bridge in the
Rethymnon area. The unfortunate man, who was illegally resident
in Greece, fell asleep under the bridge having consumed a large
amount of alcohol (raki). He died of cold in the freezing night.
His body will be returned to India for burial.
People exposed to temperatures under 15 degrees Centigrade and
have consumed large amounts of alcohol are extremely vulnerable
to exposure. The cause is vasodilation, leading to rapid heat loss.
