Russian consul in Athens found dead; no signs of foul play

 ATHENS (AP): - Greek police have reported that the head of the consular section at the Russian Embassy in Athens has been found dead in his apartment in the Greek capital, but there are no immediate indications of foul play. The body of 54-year-old Consul Andrey Malanin was found yesterday by a consular employee. Police say that a coroner will examine the body, while the police homicide department also is investigating the death due to Malanin's diplomatic status.

Police say the body bore no visible injuries.

Russia's ambassador to Turkey, Andrei Karlov, was assassinated by a riot police officer while speaking at a photo exhibit in Ankara last month.
