Forensic expert disputes reported cause of death for George Mazonakis

On September 10, 2026, the death of popular Greek singer George Mazonakis, aged 54, became the subject of public scrutiny after forensic expert and former MEP Marios Matsakis challenged the initial findings. Authorities had preliminarily attributed the artist's passing to cardiac arrest, an explanation that Matsakis publicly deemed insufficient from a forensic perspective.

In a social media post, Matsakis called for a comprehensive and thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death to ensure the cause is determined beyond any reasonable doubt. He explicitly stated that such an investigation is necessary to rule out any potential third-party responsibility. While reports mention that the singer collapsed at a medical office in Kolonaki shortly before his death, the investigation continues to address the questions raised by the forensic expert to reach a definitive conclusion.
