Israeli producer Dana Eden, known for working on Apple TV’s Tehran, passed away during filming in Greece. Her cause of death is yet to be revealed.

The Israeli public broadcaster Kan said in a statement quoted in Israeli media, “We mourn the passing of our colleague and partner in a long line of productions, series, and programs at the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation – Dana Eden."

The statement continues, "Dana was among the senior figures in Israel’s television industry and played a central role in creating and leading some of the corporation’s most prominent and influential productions. Her professional and personal legacy will continue to shape Israeli television for many years to come.”

The Times of Israel cited Hebrew media as saying that Eden's brother discovered her dead in a hotel in Athens on Sunday. According to testimony and evidence, the case is being handled as a suicide, according to Reuters. According to local media, local police started gathering security camera footage and hotel personnel testimony after issuing an autopsy order to ascertain the cause of death. The inquiry is still ongoing.

Donna and Shula Productions, the production company behind Tehran, responded to social media speculation that Eden might have been murdered by Iranian operatives by saying it "wants to make it clear that the rumours of the death being criminal or nationalistic are not true and baseless."

Iranian and Tehrani films are prohibited in Greece for Israeli nationals.
