The son of Greek billionaire Socrates P Kokkalis Sr, has been found dead in a hotel room in the US.
The body of Socrates S Kokkalis, aged 34, was discovered in a room at the Marriott Hotel in Cleveland on Saturday afternoon, with police claiming they found three bags of cocaine within the deceased’s vicinity.
According to the police report, authorities said it appeared Kokkalis, the vice-president of Olympiakos, had died some 12 hours before his body was found.
The 34-year-old’s father, after whom he is named, is the founder of the largest telecommunications company in southeastern Europe, Intracom and is the chair of Olympiakos.
“His premature passing … left the entire Olympiakos family in mourning for the unexpected loss of our Club’s Vice-president,'” reads a statement issued by Olympiakos.
The cause of death has yet to be determined by the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office, and is currently under investigation, with suspicions Kokkalis passed away due to a drug overdose.
