A tragedy struck in Arta, Greece, on Saturday, February 7, 2026, when a 35-year-old mother and kindergarten teacher collapsed while breastfeeding her two-week-old baby at home. She leaves behind two children, aged three years and just two weeks.
According to reports, the woman experienced a sudden health episode and managed to call her husband—a pulmonologist—to inform him that she was feeling unwell. By the time he arrived, she had already lost consciousness.
Emergency services responded immediately, and an ambulance transported her to the General Hospital of Arta at around 9:20 a.m. Despite doctors’ efforts to revive her, she could not be saved.
Preliminary assessments point to cardiac arrest as the likely cause of death, though the exact circumstances will be determined through autopsy. It remains unclear whether her recent childbirth at a private clinic in Arta was related to the sudden incident. Sources close to the family report that she had no known prior health issues.
The deceased had recently been appointed as a special education teacher at a school in Zakynthos and was highly regarded by colleagues and students.
