Two sedative drugs found in singer Mazunakis' system, antidote vials seized at clinic
Toxicology tests found propofol, midazolam and flumazenil in the body of singer Giorgos Mazunakis, who died at a Kolonaki clinic.
KEY POINTS
- Toxicology tests found eight substances in Mazunakis' body
- Propofol and midazolam were administered as sedation at the clinic
- Two flumazenil antidote vials were seized at the Carneadou clinic
- Two doctors are in pre-trial detention over the death
Toxicology tests commissioned by the family detected eight substances in Giorgos Mazunakis' body, including the sedatives propofol and midazolam. The simultaneous use of the two depressants can cause respiratory arrest and multiplies their sedative effect.
Investigators seized two vials of Demoxate, containing flumazenil, the antidote for benzodiazepines, during a raid at the Carneadou clinic on Thursday. The raid was carried out in the presence of a judicial official.
“The combined use of the two substances intensifies the sedative effect.”
Flumazenil was administered in an attempt to revive Mazunakis. Propofol has no antidote, and doctor Ioanna Gaka reportedly learned this only after administering it and calling an anesthesiologist by phone.
The investigation focuses on the substances administered as sedation at the clinic and their role in the singer's death. Two doctors are currently in pre-trial detention, and authorities may expand charges to whoever supplied the anesthetic drugs to the clinic.
