An elderly British couple have been found dead in a detached rental house in northern Greece after having not been seen for several days.
The bodies of a 74-year-old unnamed retired engineer and his 72-year-old wife were discovered on Saturday at a property in the suburbs of Thessaloniki.
The owner of the house the pair had been renting for the last nine years found the bodies on Saturday at around midday and then alerted the police.
He had reportedly gone to the property to check on the couple because they had not been seen for around two months.
The bodies were reportedly in a state of advanced decay, but according to Huffington Post Greece, here were no traces of criminal activity.
The husband is believed to have died first, as he was found naked in a room with the door closed, while his wife was found lying face down in a separate room wearing just her underwear.
Police also found an envelope on the ground floor with money to cover their rent for October.
An autopsy to uncover their causes of death is currently underway.
