Irish teenager Alex McKee died while on a family holiday to the Greek island of Kimolos after suffering an apparent electrocution linked to faulty shower equipment, according to local authorities.
The 17-year-old was staying on the island when the incident occurred. Greek police and local investigators have launched an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the fatal event, focusing on the electrical installations and plumbing fixtures within the holiday accommodation.
Forensic examinations are underway to determine the exact cause of death. Greek authorities have not yet released the final results of the post-mortem examination, and investigations by local law enforcement remain ongoing to establish whether negligence or equipment failure played a direct role in the tragedy.
The Department of Foreign Affairs in Dublin is providing consular assistance to the family of the teenager. Consular officials are liaising closely with local Greek authorities as the investigation continues and arrangements are made for the repatriation of the remains.
