TV producer Dana Eden, who co-created the hit Israeli spy thriller series Tehran, has been found dead in a hotel room in central Athens, Greek police told Agence France-Presse (AFP) on Monday, February 16. Eden had arrived in Athens on February 4 for the shooting of the fourth season of the series, broadcast internationally on Apple TV.
The body of the 52-year-old Israeli national was found late Sunday in her hotel room near Syntagma Square, in the heart of the Greek capital, the force said. "An autopsy has been ordered, the surveillance cameras have been reviewed, and everything seems to indicate it was a suicide," a police spokesperson said.
"This is a moment of profound pain for the family, friends, and colleagues," her company Donna and Shula Productions said in a statement. The firm said rumours suggesting her death was the result of a criminal act or connected to her nationality were "incorrect and unfounded." "We ask that Dana's dignity and the privacy of her loved ones be respected," the statement said.
'Prominent and influential'
