New theory emerges on mystery death of Brit policewoman found dead in CorfuNow authorities on the island are investigating whether Hannah's drink had been contaminated. The chief medical officer who first examined Hannah said that he detected alcohol on her breath.Yannis Aivatidis said: "There are questions as to what kind of alcohol she consumed. Had it been illicitly tampered with? Was she so intoxicated because [illegal] methanol was in the alcoholic drinks she had consumed? The answer lies in the toxicology tests that will be carried out."Corfu's police chief Spyridon Skolarik, has put the island's force on high alert, and instructed officers to raid bars at "a minute's notice" as alarm over the extent of adulterated alcohol being served in local establishments mounts.Recently, Greek bars and clubs have been rife with pure spirit-laced alcoholic drinks, and 28 bars have already been closed since the policewoman's death.Although there is not been any criminal involvement suspected to date it is unclear whether or not Hannah was alone at the time of her death.
