The victim was one of eight foreign nationals aboard a sailboat that encountered strong sea currents in waters near Symi on Sunday afternoon. Seven passengers were rescued during a large-scale operation, while the German man remained missing despite an extensive multi-day search by authorities. According to the coast guard, the body was located earlier Wednesday west of Symi by a coast guard patrol vessel. The incident began after the yacht was swept off course by powerful currents in the waters around Symi, prompting a coordinated rescue operation involving coast guard vessels and other emergency craft. Authorities reached seven occupants, but search efforts continued for the missing passenger until the discovery of his body.
