Ongoing investigation into the death of singer Giorgos Mazonakis
On September 9, 2026, 54-year-old singer Giorgos Mazonakis died following a cardiac arrest during a plasmapheresis procedure at a private medical clinic in the Kolonaki district of Athens. Authorities are currently investigating the circumstances, and two doctors have been detained in Korydallos prison on charges of homicide with potential intent.
Recent legal developments have centered on the testimony of the clinic's 28-year-old secretary, who reported that terms like "sedation" and "propofol" were mentioned at the facility. Forensic findings from the autopsy suggest myocardial ischemia, while the investigation has expanded to include the role of a hypnotherapist, Nasos Komianos, who maintained a formal professional partnership with the accused doctors. The defense is now seeking house arrest for one of the doctors, while police continue to analyze digital evidence and cross-reference conflicting employee testimonies regarding the timeline of the incident.
Authorities are awaiting toxicology and histology reports expected next week, which are considered crucial for determining the exact cause of death. The investigation remains active, with officials not ruling out the potential involvement of other third parties.
