One hour and 24 minutes: this is the time frame that is now the focus of the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Giorgos Mazonakis on September 9.
These are the 84 minutes that elapsed from 2:57 p.m., when the dialysis machine stopped working, until 4:21 p.m., when the call to the emergency medical service (EKAV) was finally made.
This period of about an hour and a half encompasses one of the most critical aspects of the case, which has yet to be fully clarified: exactly what was happening inside the Stem Cell clinic at 11 Karneadou Street in Kolonaki, what the singer’s condition was, when it became apparent that his life was in immediate danger, and what actions were taken until outside help was requested.
The digital evidence, the witness statements, and the data recovered from the computer and cell phones now allow the authorities to reconstruct, almost minute by minute, the fateful sequence of events.
George Mazonakis arrived at the clinic at 1:55 p.m. on September 9, according to the testimony of the taxi driver who took him to Kolonaki. A few minutes later, at 2:14:10 p.m., the “INUS PHERESIS” machine was activated.
A particularly significant
piece of evidence
The digital data retrieved from its software shows that the plasmapheresis procedure had indeed begun and continued for approximately 42 minutes. However, even before the machine stopped operating, a detail of particular significance was recorded.
At 14:45:22, while the device was still running, Ioanna Gaka, as revealed by protothema.gr, took a photo of Giorgos Mazonakis lying on the bed, unconscious. The significance of this particular image is not limited to what it depicts. It lies primarily in the exact time at which it was taken.
It was 2:45:22 p.m. About 12 minutes later, at 2:57 p.m., the machine stopped working.
From that moment on, the critical 84-minute period begins—the time frame that the authorities are now called upon to shed light on with the greatest possible precision.
According to the information available so far, the photo was sent by Ioanna Gaka to her husband, Ilias Theodoropoulos, who was at a store in Kolonaki at the time. He left the store and rushed back to the clinic.
The doctor has stated that he attempted to resuscitate the singer using CPR and administering epinephrine.
The next indisputable recorded time, however, is the call to the emergency medical service (EKAV). The time was 4:21 p.m. One hour and 24 minutes had passed between 2:57 p.m. and 4:21 p.m.
And it is precisely this time frame that is now at the heart of the investigation.
The relevant authorities are attempting to determine exactly when it was estimated that Giorgos Mazonakis had suffered a cardiac arrest, how long the resuscitation efforts lasted, what transpired before help was requested, and at what point the decision was finally made to call an ambulance.
As soon as the call was made, the National Ambulance Service (EKAV) responded immediately. The first paramedic arrived at the scene at 4:24 p.m., just three minutes later. The ambulance arrived shortly thereafter, and at 4:45 p.m., Giorgos Mazonakis was transported to Elpis Hospital. He was pronounced dead at 5:40 p.m.
The case, however, does not end with the timeline of his treatment and the call to the National Ambulance Service (EKAV). The findings from the doctor’s cell phone have also taken on significant importance. According to the digital data, at 7:09 p.m., the photo that had been taken earlier inside the doctor’s office was deleted from her device.
The deletion reportedly took place before she and her husband went to the police station. The couple arrived at the Kypseli Police Station at approximately 7:45 p.m. However, the photo was not lost.
The police were able to recover it, and it is now part of the evidence being examined as part of the investigation.
At the same time, the digital log from the camera itself is of particular importance, as it records its operation from 2:14 p.m. to 2:57 p.m. This evidence confirms that the deflation process had begun on that fateful day and provides investigators with a clear timeline of how events unfolded.
Another aspect has been added to the case.
The spokesperson for the Athens Medical Association, who had participated in previous inspections of the facility, has reported that this specific hemodialysis machine had not been presented to the Association’s committees.
Thus, the investigation is no longer limited to whether the procedure took place and how long it lasted. Attention is increasingly focused on the exact sequence of events that followed.
From 2:45:22 p.m., when Giorgos Mazonakis appears in the photograph unconscious, to 2:57 p.m., when the machine stopped working, and from there to 4:21 p.m., when the call was made to the emergency medical service (EKAV). This is where the answers lie, which the authorities are now trying to uncover.
