An 82-year-old man died of a cardiac arrest following a fight with a 76-year-old over a sun lounger in Vouliagmeni, a seaside town near Athens, Greece. The incident occurred when the younger man and his companion arrived at the beach and an argument ensued with the older couple already occupying sun loungers. After accompanying the young woman to a clinic for medical attention, the 76-year-old returned to find the older man still there, leading to a physical altercation before the cardiac arrest. The 76-year-old and his female companion were arrested following the incident.

Story summary
An 82-year-old man died after a brawl over a sunlounger at Vouliagmeni beach near Athens on September 20. The incident began when he argued with a 76-year-old man and his companion, a 21-year-old woman, over the use of loungers. After a physical altercation, the older man suffered a cardiac arrest and was taken to hospital where he later died. Police arrested both the 76-year-old man on charges related to causing fatal bodily harm and aiding and abetting fatal harm, while the younger woman faced verbal abuse charges before being released due to injuries sustained during the fight. The dispute highlights tensions in Greece over private companies monopolizing public beaches with expensive sunloungers, a practice that has sparked local backlash and government intervention.
