Two British holidaymakers have been found dead in their rooms in separate hotels within just a few hours in Greece.
The first British tourist, a 71-year-old woman, was found dead in her hotel room in Hersonissos, Crete, in the afternoon of October 23.
Her son made the shocking discovery and raised the alarm, but ambulance staff sent to the scene were unable to revive the woman.
Just a few hours later, a 58-year-old British man was found unresponsive in his room in a different hotel in Hersonissos.
