Investigation into the death of singer Giorgos Mazonakis

Singer Giorgos Mazonakis died on September 9, 2026, following a medical incident at a clinic in the Kolonaki district of Athens. The incident occurred during a plasmapheresis procedure performed by a 56-year-old doctor. Authorities are currently investigating the specific circumstances surrounding the singer's passing, evaluating witness testimonies and digital evidence collected from the scene.

Preliminary toxicological findings have revealed the presence of propofol and midazolam in the artist's system. Additionally, investigators identified the substance flumazenil, marketed as Anexate, which acts as an antidote to midazolam. The detection of this antidote appears to corroborate witness accounts from clinic staff regarding the medical intervention attempted during the procedure. Experts have noted that the administration of these substances, whether separately or in combination, carries significant risks.

The official results of the toxicological and histological examinations are expected within the next 10 days. These findings are considered crucial for determining the exact cause of death and evaluating the professional actions of those involved in the procedure.
