Overview
- The autopsy, held on Friday August 14th, found electrocution was the cause of 17-year-old Alex McKee’s death.
- Kimolos police have sealed the family’s rental as a crime scene and are examining a water heater and the house wiring for faults.
- The McKee family has engaged Greek lawyer Stelios Voudouris and is considering criminal action; the lawyer said there is “huge criminal responsibility.”
- Several reports say a 2024 electrical installation certificate for the property bears the signature of the island’s mayor but that claim has not been independently verified by officials.
- Alex was an award-winning Young Scientist exhibitor with family ties to Kimolos, Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs is providing consular support, and the case could prompt closer checks on local electrical certification and installation practices.
