The body of an unidentified man was recovered Sunday off a popular beach northeast of the Greek capital with a 22-pound barbell tethered to his leg with a rope, the coast guard said, marking the second time in days that an exercise weight was found attached to human remains in a body of water.
Authorities were alerted to the presence of the body at Schinias beach near the town of Marathon, early Sunday afternoon. A diver retrieved the body about 110 yards from shore. An ambulance took the body to a hospital where the man's death was confirmed. According to authorities, the body had been in the water for several days.
The man was estimated to be 40-45 years old. An autopsy was to take place later. Authorities at the nearby port of Rafina were investigating.
