Investigation into the death of singer Giorgos Mazonakis

The investigation into the death of popular singer Giorgos Mazonakis has intensified following preliminary toxicological results that indicate the presence of propofol, a potent anesthetic. The findings suggest the singer was sedated during a plasmapheresis procedure at a medical clinic in the Kolonaki area. The 56-year-old doctor responsible for the treatment, identified as Ioanna Gaka, is currently in custody, despite her previous denials regarding the use of sedation. Testimony from clinic staff and records from a group chat have further implicated the practice, with reports suggesting the doctor previously attempted to contact an anesthesiologist for a sedative antidote.

New evidence from the clinic's secretary suggests that the use of sedation was not an isolated incident, with claims that it had been administered to at least three other patients, including the doctor's daughter, over the past year. Additionally, investigators are examining histological findings regarding the singer's heart condition to determine if it contributed to his death. Further judicial steps include the opening of a safe found at the singer’s residence in Voula, the analysis of data from six seized mobile devices, and the evaluation of toxicological samples to be completed by the end of the week. Nine witnesses have provided testimony thus far, with more expected.
