On her first day of vacation in Corfu, a female British police officer was discovered dead with a mysterious head wound.
Early on Friday morning, a 22-year-old police officer’s body was found on a side street close to a bar in the Greek resort of Kavos.
The young Brit went out with her friend from work on the first day of her vacation on the island.
However, the 22-year-old continued to be out when her friend decided to go back to their hotel, according to local media.
The woman, a Surrey Police officer, was later discovered by onlookers near a main road with an unexplained head wound.
Although emergency personnel arrived quickly, the woman was later declared dead.
The death of the woman is the subject of an investigation by Greek authorities.
She suffered a head injury, but a postmortem is being conducted to determine the cause of death, according to the medical examiner’s report.
According to local reports, the victim was thought to have been bleeding for hours before being found, which led investigators to believe she may have fallen and been knocked unconscious.
Police are currently going over local venues’ CCTV footage.
