She immediately contacted the hotel doctor who said the baby had died overnight, ‘probably from drowning.’

This comes after a 46-year-old tourist passed away after falling from another Corfu hotel. He had been on a holiday with his girlfriend at the Kanoni peninsula.

The tourist reportedly fell from the third-floor balcony and was killed instantly. Officers have ruled out the possibility of foul play.

Ioannis Aivatidis, Corfu’s medical examiner, said to APE-MPE “the side effects of the antidepressants that the 46-year-old was taking will also be examined.”
