A 15-year-old French student died yesterday evening after falling from the third-floor balcony of a hotel in Athens’ Omonia district. The exact circumstances remain unclear, and authorities are investigating all possible scenarios—including accidental fall, intoxication, dizziness, or suicide.
Tragic incident during school trip
The teenager was in Greece as part of a school excursion to Athens. According to reports, he fell shortly after 9 p.m. from the balcony of his hotel on Solonos Street in central Athens. Witnesses described the scene as deeply distressing, with visible blood on the pavement.

EMSA (EKAB) responded immediately and transported the boy—unconscious—to the Agia Sofia Children’s Hospital, where his death was officially confirmed.
Family arrives in Greece
As reported by SKAI, the student’s parents are expected to arrive in Greece today to be with authorities and support the investigation into their son’s death.
