Dana Eden, the Israeli producer behind the Emmy-winning series “Tehran,” has died.
Eden, 52, died suddenly in Greece, according to Israeli public broadcaster KAN.
The series’ co-creator was found dead in a hotel in the Greek capital, Athens, a Greek police official said, adding that initial indications suggested she had taken her own life and there was no suspicion of foul play. The official spoke on condition of anonymity as Greek police do not comment publicly in such cases.

Eden was in Greece for the filming of the hit series’ fourth season, KAN reported.
In a statement posted on its Facebook page, Eden’s production company, Donna and Shula productions, sought to dispel rumors that the producer had been killed.
“The production company wishes to clarify that the rumors of a criminal or nationally motivated death are false and unfounded,” it said.
“This is a moment of great pain for the family, friends and colleagues. We ask that Dana’s dignity and the privacy of her loved ones be respected,” the production company said.
