Μake us preferred on Google Propofol appears to have played a decisive role in the death of singer Giorgos Mazonakis, according to preliminary findings from a quantitative toxicology analysis completed at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
The official examination, conducted at the laboratory of Nikolaos Raikos, professor of clinical toxicology and pharmacology, confirmed the findings of an earlier private analysis: Both tests identified the same substances in the singer’s body.
The latest analysis also measured their concentrations. Its results were forwarded Friday to the Athens Forensic Service for evaluation by the forensic examiner responsible for the case.
Further tests to establish the role of each substance
Preliminary assessments indicate that the administration of propofol may have been a decisive factor in Mazonakis’ death. However, investigators have not ruled out the possibility that other substances he may have taken earlier contributed to the fatal outcome.
Forensic examiner Kalogirou has therefore requested additional testing from the university to determine the contribution of each substance.
The central question is whether propofol alone caused the singer’s death or whether its effects combined with those of the other substances detected in his body.
Supplementary report expected within days
The supplementary toxicology report is expected within the next two to three days and should provide a clearer picture of the role played by each substance.
A histological examination is also expected to be completed within the next day. Its findings will be assessed alongside the toxicology results before the full forensic report is prepared.
The combined examinations are expected to provide a more complete account of the circumstances and mechanism of Mazonakis’ death. Until the supplementary indings and final forensic report are issued, the precise cause of death remains under investigation.
