Man found unconscious under unknown circumstances

A man is in critical condition in Larnaca hospital after he was found drunk and unconscious on a veranda early on Thursday.

The owner of a ground floor apartment found the man, who is about 50 years old, lying on his front veranda in the Turkish Cypriot quarter of Larnaca after he heard a noise at 1.30am.

The injured man was taken to hospital where he was diagnosed with a cerebral haemorrhage and fractures of the neck, vertebra and sternum.

Police haven’t ruled out the possibility that the injuries were caused by a fall.

It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
