A tourist from the United Kingdom, who recently died under mysterious circumstances during a vacation in Greece, may have been the victim of a homicide, according to a report.
The 44-year-old man was found dead on the Greek island of Spetses, according to local officials. He was reportedly floating in a bay of the island.
A coast guard official told Reuters the victim was found with head wounds. The British citizen was taken to a local hospital before being pronounced dead.

“Some are now saying he fell from a boat,” the source was quoted.
“What is sure is that he had an injury on the left side of his head and was almost certainly unconscious when he fell into the sea.”
The 44-year-old was reportedly in Greece to attend a classic yacht regatta. The official added that the man’s head wound was “puzzling.”
