The heatwave in Greece has led to further deaths and disappearances.

On Sunday, an American man was found dead on a beach on the island of Mathraki, west of Corfu, after being missing since Thursday.

Earlier in the weekend, a Dutch tourist was found dead on the island of Samos. The tourist, a man in his 70s, failed to return from his hike in the heat and was found dead in a ravine on Saturday.

Last week, the British TV doctor and diet guru Michael Mosley was found dead in an inaccessible area on the island of Symi. He too had gone missing during a hike.

The Greek rescue service is still searching for three people reported missing. Two French women have been missing since Friday on the island of Sikonos. Another man, an American, has been missing on Amorgos since he went on a hike in the heat.
