Death toll in Greek flood rises to 19

Three more people have been found dead from a flash flood that hit a district west of Athens, raising the total death toll to 19.

The fire department says the body of a man was found Saturday on a factory grounds near the suburb of Mandra, 25 kilometres northwest of the Greek capital.

The body has still not been retrieved because of debris and a nearby leaking propane tank.

The coast guard also announced that a patrol ship had found two bodies, both men, in the sea south of Mandra.

It is not yet known whether the bodies belong to the six known missing people from the flood on Wednesday.
