A man has died from the strong earthquake of 5.8 Richter in Crete.

The victim is one of the three people reported to have been trapped in the church of Profitis Ilias in Arkalochori.

According to the information of protothema.gr, the dome of the church collapsed, as a result of which a person was fatally injured.

Another citizen in the village of Patsideros, who was trapped inside his house, was rescued as he could not open the door due to the damage from the earthquake.
