"Her passing was described as a moment of great sorrow for the family, friends, and colleagues by Donna and Shula Productions, the international production company set up by Eden. After Israeli media reports of Greek police investigating a possible link to Iran, the company also took the unusual step of ruling out a criminal or nationalistic-related death, saying rumours that were circulating are not true and are unfounded. In such circumstances an autopsy is automatically carried out with results backed up by an official investigation."
"Within hours, police had launched an official inquiry, taking testimony from hotel staff and ordering security camera footage to be handed over. A police spokesperson, Constantina Dimoglidou, appeared to rule out foul play telling outlets that the producer's brother had spoken of his sister being on medication for a condition that had hospitalised her in the past. The award-winning TV executive, who won an Emmy for producing the Apple TV series Tehran, was a prominent figure in Israel's flourishing TV industry."
"The country's public broadcaster, KAN, said: We are saddened by the passing of our friend and partner in a long line of productions, series, and programmes. Dana was among the senior figures in the Israeli television industry and played a central role in creating and leading some of the corporation's most prominent and influential productions. She had been in Athens since 4 February working on the latest season of the spy thriller."
Dana Eden, 52, was found dead in a hotel room in Athens while working on the fourth season of the spy thriller Tehran. Greek police attributed the death to suicide and opened an official inquiry that included testimony from hotel staff, seizure of security camera footage, and an autopsy. Donna and Shula Productions described the death as a moment of great sorrow and publicly ruled out criminal or nationalistic causes, calling related rumours unfounded. A police spokesperson noted Eden's brother reported she was on medication for a condition that had previously hospitalised her. Eden won an Emmy for producing Tehran.
