Russia’s consul to Athens, Andrey Malanin, passed away at the age of 55, sources from the Russian embassy told the press on Monday night.
Greek media said Mr Malanin had failed to report for work on Monday and did not answer his phone. He lived alone on a heavily guarded street.
Russian officials confirmed the consul's death.
The Proto Tema website said colleagues accompanied by police went round to the apartment to check on Mr Malanin but found the door locked from the inside.
He was found lying on his bedroom floor. Police said the body had no visible injuries and there had been no obvious break-in.
