The cause of death has been confirmed for Michele Bourda, a 59-year-old Scottish woman who vanished from a sunbed while on holiday in Greece. The Glasgow resident disappeared on August 1st whilst on a two-week break in Kavala with her husband Chris.
Michele was lying on a sunbed when she suddenly vanished, leaving her 66-year-old husband searching for answers. Chris had been sleeping nearby when his wife disappeared without explanation from the popular beach resort.
Body discovered after month-long search
Authorities found Michele's body approximately one month after her disappearance on a small island off the Greek coast. The discovery brought a tragic end to an extensive search operation that had been ongoing since early August.
The confirmation of the cause of death provides closure for the family after weeks of uncertainty. Greek authorities have now completed their investigation into the circumstances surrounding Michele's death.
Family criticism of police response
Michele's family expressed anger with the police response to her disappearance, claiming officers were slow to react to their initial reports. The criticism highlights concerns about the speed of the investigation during the crucial early hours after Michele went missing.
Chris and the family had been desperately seeking answers since that August morning when Michele simply vanished from what should have been a relaxing holiday. The two-week trip to Greece turned into a nightmare that has now reached its tragic conclusion.
