Authorities are investigating the death of an 80-year-old man discovered in his apartment in Galatsi, Greece, under circumstances that have raised suspicions of foul play.

The man was found deceased by his son around 3 p.m. on Saturday in his residence on Androutsou Street. Police reported that the victim had sustained a wound to the neck, and bloodstains were present on the bedsheets where he was found.

Significantly, investigators found no signs of forced entry into the apartment, and the scene itself did not appear to be disturbed. This lack of obvious struggle or intrusion complicates the initial assessment of the situation.

A forensic examiner has indicated that criminal activity cannot be ruled out at this stage. An autopsy is scheduled to be performed, which is expected to provide crucial details regarding the exact cause of the 80-year-old man's death and potentially shed light on how the injuries were sustained.
