Tragedy unfolded in Folegandros when a well-known hotelier died on the island yesterday evening. The man, who owned three hotels in Folegandros, decided to end his life in his office in one of his hotels.
According to the information available, the hotelier locked himself in his office, pointed the gun at himself and pulled the trigger. His companions discovered the tragic event, and when they heard the sound of the shot and were worried about his absence, they tried to find him and finally found him dead.
The reasons that led the hotel to this unfortunate act seem to be related to the serious financial problems it has been facing recently. His business moves and openings in his businesses have created considerable financial pressure, which he seems unable to cope with.
