Sunlounger dispute turns deadly

An 82-year-old man died after fighting with a 76-year-old over a sunlounger at Vouliagmeni beach near Athens on Sunday. Witnesses say the disagreement escalated into a violent fight involving multiple people.

Chaos spreads across the beach

The fight became so chaotic that screaming could be heard from the other end of the beach. A 21-year-old woman with the 76-year-old was detained but later released, though witnesses reported she had a bloodied and swollen face.

Man collapses during the fight

The 82-year-old collapsed during the altercation. He received CPR and a defibrillator was used before an ambulance arrived and took him to hospital, where he later died.

Reserved lounger sparked the row

A witness said the 82-year-old appeared to be waiting for others and had reserved a sunlounger, which seems to have been the cause of the initial disagreement with the younger man.
