In a tragic turn of events, Dana Eden, the acclaimed producer of the popular Israeli series “Tehran,” was discovered dead in a hotel room in Athens. The Greek authorities are currently investigating her death as a possible suicide.

At 52, Eden was in Athens actively working on the production of the fourth season of the Apple TV+ spy drama, which centers on a Mossad agent’s daring infiltration into the Iranian regime. Her brother, worried about her lack of response to his messages, made the grim discovery of her body, according to reports from the broadcaster Kan.

Local news outlet Ta Nea has shared that Eden was found with bruises on her neck and lower body, adding a layer of complexity to the ongoing investigation.

Despite the unsettling circumstances, the production company behind “Tehran” has firmly ruled out any suggestions of foul play, emphasizing the absence of any suspicious elements surrounding her death.

Eden was found with bruises on her neck and the lower parts of her body, as reported by the local outlet Ta Nea.

The production company behind ‘Tehran’ has dismissed any reports of foul play.

“The production company wants to make it clear that the rumors of the death being criminal or nationalistic are not true and baseless,” a spokesperson for Donna and Shula Productions told Times of Israel.

“We call on the media and the public not to publish unfounded theories and to act with responsibility and sensitivity. This is a moment of immense pain for the family, friends, and colleagues.

“We want to preserve Dana’s dignity and her privacy.”

Israeli broadcasting chiefs said they were saddened by Eden’s death.

“Dana was among the senior figures in the Israeli television industry and was a central figure in the creation and leadership of some of the corporation’s most prominent and influential productions,” the corporation said.

Eden has previously worked on the shows “Saving the Wildlife,” “She Has It,” and “Shakshouka.”

The third season of “Tehran” premiered on Apple TV+ on Jan. 9. 

It was supposed to be released last July – just weeks after Israel’s 12 day war with Iran – before the date was pushed back.

The show won an International Emmy Award in 2021 and was nominated for a Critics Choice Award in the Best Foreign Language Series category in 2023.
