Her condition is unknown.
Cops have launched an investigation.
British pensioner David Hunter, 76, was sent to prison for 19 months in 2022 for killing his terminally ill wife.
Hunter, originally from Northumberland, smothered his cancer-stricken wife Janice at their home in Cyprus.
The Brit grandad said his wife “begged” him to kill her to end her suffering.
He was cleared of murder but instead found guilty of manslaughter and was handed a two-year sentence by judges.
After months behind bars he was allowed to return home in a suspended sentence.
