Μake us preferred on Google Initial toxicology results in the investigation into the death of Greek singer Giorgos Mazonakis indicate the presence of propofol, an anesthetic that could prove significant in determining the circumstances and cause of his death.
According to police reporter Vasilis Lampropoulos, testing is being conducted at the toxicology laboratory of the University of Thessaloniki, with the results expected to be completed by the end of the week.
The laboratory has requested a new sample to carry out a quantitative analysis of the substances detected.
Histological tests also under examination
Investigators are also examining the results of histological tests after a finding was identified in Mazonakis’ heart.
The aim is to determine when the cardiac problem developed and whether it could be connected to treatments the singer underwent before his death, including hydrotherapy sessions during the critical period before September 9.
Doctor denies administering sedation
The findings come as investigators examine conflicting accounts about whether Mazonakis was given sedation before his death.
The 56-year-old doctor accused in the case has denied administering sedation. However, subsequent statements by employees at her medical clinic on Karneadou Street reportedly contradict her account.
A nurse at the clinic testified that the doctor asked her to contact an anesthesiologist and ask whether there was an antidote for propofol.
The anesthesiologist who received the call confirmed the conversation and said she informed the nurse that there is no antidote for propofol.
Meanwhile, information obtained after authorities lifted telecommunications confidentiality indicates that an online search was conducted for an antidote to propofol.
