Ongoing investigation into the death of Giorgos Mazonakis

The investigation into the death of singer Giorgos Mazonakis has intensified following new toxicological findings and testimonies regarding medical practices at a clinic in the Kolonaki district of Athens. While initial reports mentioned the presence of propofol, recent laboratory updates indicate positive results for benzodiazepines, a class of sedative drugs. Authorities are examining the sequence of events during a plasmapheresis procedure performed by a 56-year-old physician, currently held in Korydallos prison, who previously denied administering sedation despite conflicting staff testimonies. A nurse reportedly witnessed the doctor seeking an antidote, which an anesthesiologist confirmed was unavailable.

Legal proceedings are expanding as the 32nd examining magistrate reviews digital communications and internet search history from seized devices. A second doctor involved in the case has requested a forensic examination of his mobile phone, asserting he had no knowledge of the sedation or the plasmapheresis performed on patients, including his own daughter. Further testimonies from emergency responders and medical staff are expected, alongside the opening of a safe found at the artist’s residence. Forensic consultants for the defense have noted lung edema and potential ischemic heart changes, though official causes remain pending the final toxicological report. The investigation continues with the upcoming testimony of the couple's daughter.
