Mysterious Death of 63-Year-Old Hotelier in Rhodes – All Possibilities Still Open

A tragic end unfolded in the case of the 63-year-old businessman from Rhodes, who went missing for six days before being found deceased under unclear circumstances. The hotelier, Konstantinos Tsiantis, whose whereabouts were lost on May 1st after his last communication at noon that day, was discovered unconscious on the evening of May 7th in a small stream in the Pasouthia area of Rhodes. According to the Silver Alert announcement, the 63-year-old had vanished on May 1st and his last contact was a message sent to his wife, Oxana Zdanovits, at 1:20 PM stating he was heading to Lindos for a meal with friends. His disappearance was reported on May 3rd by his estranged wife, with whom he had recently decided to give their marriage another chance. The last trace of the 63-year-old was located in the Lindos area, prompting extensive searches by the Greek Police, volunteers, and the support of the Lifeline organization, which issued a Silver Alert. Manolis Tsimpoukas, head of Silver Alert in the Dodecanese, stated that all possibilities remain open as investigations continue. While criminal activity is not currently suspected, it appears the hotelier may have lost his way due to nightfall and rain, causing his vehicle to fall into a ravine. Further details await the results of ongoing investigations and forensic examinations. The site where the man was found suggests he may have visited a nearby village earlier. Despite initial suspicions raised by the victim’s brother linking this incident to a past burglary, authorities emphasize the need to wait for official findings. Light on the cause of death is expected from toxicology and forensic reports in the coming days.
