In brief
The Fire Service's operations centre was alerted at about 16:30 on Friday, 30 October 2026, to a man in the Kanapitsa stream in Menidi, Acharnes.
Eight firefighters with three vehicles from the 6th Athens Fire Station reached the scene, used a stretcher and brought the man to an accessible point.
An EKAB ambulance took the man over after the rescue, and reports describe him as unconscious when recovered.
A NewsIT report published at 18:05 says he was found dead, while three other outlets published between 17:02 and 17:23 describe him as unconscious.
The rescue
The Fire Service's operations centre was alerted at about 16:30 on Friday, 30 October 2026, to a man in the Kanapitsa stream (ρέμα Καναπίτσας) in Menidi, in the Acharnes municipality of Attica. Eight firefighters with three vehicles from the 6th Athens Fire Station were sent to the scene. They reached the man inside the stream, used a stretcher to bring him out, and moved him to a point accessible to ambulances.
An EKAB ambulance took him over at that point. Reports describe him as unconscious when he was recovered, and the operation had ended shortly before the articles were published.
Conflicting accounts
A NewsIT report published at 18:05 says the man was found dead and that he lost his life. Three other outlets, publishing between 17:02 and 17:23, describe him as unconscious when firefighters pulled him from the water. The reports do not reconcile these descriptions, and the later NewsIT wording is the only one that describes him as having died.
What is not yet known
No report gives the man's identity, and none of the sources state a cause of death or describe how he came to be in the stream. The accounts also do not say whether anyone else was involved or whether an investigation has been opened. Any further information would have to come from the Fire Service, the police or the EKAB, and none of the articles report such a statement so far.
