"The fire stopped me. I did not have time to go up and see her, "with these words describes the difficult moment that the son of the 87-year-old woman who was found dead in her apartment on Lycabettus Street in Kolonaki, after the deadly fire that broke out and within minutes made everything in its wake.
Speaking to protothema.gr, the elderly woman's son, Alexandros Papadopoulos, explains that the fire broke out as his mother fell asleep with a cigarette in her hand.
On Saturday night the sad incident was recorded.[/B] In the downtown area the "alarm" began to sound with the sirens of the fire brigade and the ambulance setting off the alarm of residents in the adjacent houses.
The elderly woman's son visited her, as she reports, almost daily. But on the fatal Saturday, he was unable to go up to her apartment. He was stopped by the flames and could not see her.
Terrified, facing the suffocating scene, he called for first aid, hoping that at least at the last moment his mother would emerge unharmed from the smoke.
But he remembers that until the last hours of her life she remained intact, not suffering from any health problem or dementia, as he says.
Shocked by the unpleasant development, the 87-year-old woman's son is still trying to understand how his mother passed away within a few hours.
Meanwhile, the apartment of the unfortunate elderly Eleni Papadopoulou who was "lost" in the flames has been up for sale for some time.
The apartment was advertised in real estate agencies with a purchase price of 750.000 euros.
It is a third floor apartment, 242 sq.m. in a building with special architectural elements, inter-war era, with four bedrooms and a large terrace overlooking Lycabettus.
