Chania: Fisherman’s Death Recorded by Camera on Lobster Trap

Search efforts for the missing 43-year-old man in Paleochora ended tragically. The 43-year-old fisherman was found deceased Friday morning (07.03.2025) in a maritime area of Chania. A professional diver, who participated in the search, located his body underwater. According to information from zarpanews.gr, the unfortunate man was discovered at a depth of 24 meters. Notably, the same diver was an experienced instructor and rescue diver. Tragically, the fisherman had a camera installed on his lobster trap that was still operational upon discovery, capturing his final moments and potentially providing answers about the conditions leading to his death. The victim was married with one child, and his wife is pregnant with their second. His disappearance began Thursday night when he failed to return home, prompting family members to alert authorities, who launched a large-scale search effort that unfortunately concluded with tragic results.
