Dana Eden, the producer behind the hit Israeli show “Tehran” has been found dead in an Athens hotel room, according to Greek cops.

The 52-year-old was found dead on Sunday and police are probing her death as a suicide.

She was in the Greek capital filming the fourth season of the Apple TV+ spy series, which revolves around a Mossad agent trying to infiltrate the Iran regime, and her body was found by her brother, according to the broadcaster Kan.

He grew concerned when she didn’t respond to his text messages.

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.
