A British woman whose body was found after she disappeared from a sunbed on a Greek beach has died from drowning, authorities have confirmed.

Michele Bourda, 59, disappeared suddenly in the Greek city of Kavala on August 1 whilst her husband Chris Bourda, 66, was sleeping on Ofrynio beach. Her possessions were reportedly left behind on the beach, and when Mr Bourda woke up, she had gone.

The Glasgow couple were enjoying a fortnight's holiday and had been for a swim before settling down for a rest on some nearby sun loungers.

Mr Bourda disclosed that police officers had eventually discovered his wife's body on a small, privately-owned island called Fidonisi - approximately 40km from the coastline where she was last spotted - last week, roughly a month after she went missing.
