The old man whose had lost track of the morning last Thursday, and even members of his family believed he had extinguished any hope to be found alive five days after, the denied. Having complete clarity of mind, visibly worse for wear, but alive, Theodore ΠατσοÏÏης was spotted by a shepherd at a distance of about 500 meters from the village Panopoylo, next to the IF 111 to a point fully covered by vegetation. With the business of the Fire Service evacuated and transferred sequentially to the K.Y. Σιμόπουλου, in the OPINION of Amaliada and the University Hospital of Rio.
