“It is our sad duty to report the death of two Austrian citizens in Greece,” the ministry said in a short statement.

“The results of the DNA analysis confirmed that we are talking about two people who went missing as a result of a heavy flood,” the source added.

Storm Daniel ravaged Greece for three days at the end of the hottest summer on record, wreaking further devastation after deadly wildfires weeks ago.

15 people died as a result of the flood.
