On the morning of May 25, 2021, during a military exercise in the area of Trooditissa, Xanthos lost his life when the rope he used to descend was cut in two.
According to Lieutenant Colonel Christos Pieris, spokesman for the Ministry of Defence, the investigation by a senior officer of the National Guard has been completed and the final report is expected from the police experts so that the final conclusions can be drawn.
Information from last February, however, states that from the specialized examinations carried out on the rope abroad, it was found that it was damaged, suggesting its unsuitability.
