New details are coming to light about the final hours of Giorgos Mazonakis, with authorities examining communications in and around the clinic on Karneadou Street, reports of possible intoxication, as well as the autopsy findings, which are expected to be clarified by histological and toxicological tests.

The investigation into the death of the popular singer is now entering a new phase, as investigators are attempting to reconstruct, minute by minute, what happened at the clinic on Karneadou Street in Kolonaki, where Giorgos Mazonakis suffered a cardiac arrest during a bloodletting procedure.

The focus is now on new revelations regarding the communications between Dr. Ioanna Gaka and hypnotherapist Nasos Komianos, as well as reports from clinic staff regarding what allegedly occurred after the artist’s condition deteriorated.

At the same time, authorities are awaiting crucial results from toxicological and histological tests, while the lifting of telephone privacy restrictions on the two doctors in custody— Ioanna Gaka and her husband, Ilias Theodoropoulos.

The two doctors have been remanded in custody in connection with the death of Giorgos Mazonakis and remain at Korydallos Prison, while their defense team disputes their involvement and presents its own version of events.

Reports of “intoxication,” “a defibrillator,” and “adrenaline”

One of the new pieces of evidence being examined by the authorities concerns what a clinic employee allegedly heard during the critical hours.

According to reports, the 28-year-old clinic secretary reportedly stated that she heard words such as “intoxication,” “defibrillator,” and “adrenaline.”

According to the same reports, she reportedly sent a message to a relative, stating: “Forget it. … gave him a sedative,” a message that was reportedly later deleted, according to Mega.

Authorities are investigating whether sedatives were indeed administered to Giorgos Mazonakis before or during the proceedings and whether this is linked to the progression of his condition.

The issue of possible intoxication is one of the critical points of the investigation, as toxicology tests are expected to reveal whether there were any pharmaceutical substances in his system, such as benzodiazepines or other sedatives, and at what concentrations.

Plasmapheresis and Questions About the Procedure

Authorities are also examining all the details surrounding the plasmapheresis procedure, as well as the possible complications that could be linked to the singer’s collapse.

Among the scenarios being examined are the possibility of a blood clot, an air embolism through the system, and potential problems related to fluid administration.

According to the evidence available so far, no thrombosis was initially detected during the autopsy; however, the full set of findings is expected to be evaluated once the laboratory tests are completed.

Another crucial question is whether Giorgos Mazonakis’s condition prior to the medical procedure was such that a different course of treatment would have been required.

Another point under scrutiny by the authorities concerns the condition Giorgos Mazonakis was in before arriving at the clinic.

The clinic reportedly described him as being in a state of intense or extreme agitation, while other accounts from people who had come into contact with him shortly before paint a different picture.

Specifically, a pharmacist, a taxi driver, and a parking lot owner reportedly described a man who was behaving normally before his arrival at the clinic.

This discrepancy is under investigation, as authorities are examining whether the description of his condition influenced the decisions made afterward.

The finding of myocardial ischemia

The autopsy findings are also of particular significance. According to the information that has come to light, relatively extensive ischemia was identified in the interventricular myocardium—that is, the muscular section between the heart’s two ventricles.

A histological examination is needed to determine whether this lesion is associated with an acute myocardial infarction and, if confirmed, when it occurred.

Determining the timing of a possible cardiac event is considered critical, as it must be correlated with the sequence of medical procedures and the singer’s condition before, during, and after the plasmapheresis.

Until now, it was not known that Giorgos Mazonakis had a history of heart disease or coronary artery disease.

The Gaka–Komianos collaboration and the photo from the doctor’s office

The investigation is also focusing on Ioanna Gaka’s relationship with hypnotherapist Nasos Komianos, who testified before the investigator regarding their professional collaboration, as well as his contact with Giorgos Mazonakis a few days before his death.

He reportedly claimed that he had met the singer only once, two days before the fatal incident, and stated that he had not known him personally beforehand.

The meeting took place at a restaurant in Psychiko, and, according to reports, Giorgos Mazonakis’s manager and a 55-year-old businessman were also present.

During the conversation, the hypnotherapist allegedly linked the hypnosis session to a prior “detox” procedure, though it remains unclear exactly what that term referred to.

Subsequently, according to the evidence being examined by the authorities, Giorgos Mazonakis was taken to the clinic on Karneadou Street to undergo plasmapheresis.

According to the information that has come to light, the singer reportedly initially had second thoughts about the procedure and expressed reservations, as he was reportedly even considering the possibility of undergoing plasmapheresis abroad.

In the context of these discussions, Ioanna Gaka reportedly contacted the hypnotherapist, who, according to her, wrote: “Don’t worry, I’ll sort him out,” referring to the effort to convince the singer to go through with the procedure.

The three-page contract and patient referrals

Authorities are also examining the professional relationship that Nasos Komianos had developed with Ioanna Gaka and Ilias Theodoropoulos.

According to reports, the investigation centers on a three-page collaboration agreement, which provided for mutual client referrals as well as the possibility of using the couple’s second medical office on Patriarch Ioakeim Street.

The agreement, which is said to have been signed about a year ago, is described as a collaboration between professionals from different fields.

Under its terms, the sleep therapist reportedly paid 40 euros for each patient referred to him by the doctors, while a corresponding fee was stipulated for patient referrals in the opposite direction.

At the same time, Nasos Komianos allegedly had the option to use the premises at Patriarchou Ioakeim for sessions with his own clients or with individuals referred to him by the doctor.

The nature of this collaboration and its connection to Giorgos Mazonakis’s visits and the procedures he underwent are the subject of the judicial investigation.

The photo of Mazonakis at the plasmapheresis machine

Another piece of evidence being examined by the authorities concerns the photograph that Ioanna Gaka allegedly sent to the hypnotherapist during the procedure. The photo shows Giorgos Mazonakis in the plasmapheresis chair, with his eyes closed and intravenous catheters in both arms.

According to reports, the photo had been deleted from the doctor’s cell phone, but authorities managed to recover it.

Investigators are examining whether there were any other communications between the doctor and the hypnotherapist or other individuals during the critical period before and after the singer’s collapse.

The testimony of the 28-year-old secretary and the defense’s version of events

The new testimony from the 28-year-old secretary at the clinic on Karneadou Street is expected to play a significant role in the case’s development.

The young woman had already testified twice during the preliminary investigation and was summoned again by the 32nd regular investigating judge, this time at the request of the defense team for the two doctors in pretrial detention.

According to the defense team for Ioanna Gaka and Ilias Theodoropoulos, her testimony is considered significant as it may clarify what happened in the clinic during those critical hours.

According to the defense’s account, the 28-year-old is expected to testify that at 3:30 p.m., Giorgos Mazonakis was already in the clinic when a patient who had a scheduled appointment with Ilias Theodoropoulos arrived.

According to the same account, before the patient’s arrival, the doctor was in his office, where he had lain down on the couch and fallen asleep.

Subsequently, as his side claims, he remained with his patient until approximately 4:10 p.m., during which time he also ordered tests.

According to a document submitted to the investigating judge by the doctor, this prescription was issued at 4:06 p.m.

This testimony is being used by the defense team of Ilias Theodoropoulos, who maintains that he was not involved in the bloodletting procedure nor was he present in the room when the singer collapsed.

Contradictions in the Testimonies and Next Steps

The testimonies of the clinic’s employees remain at the center of the investigation, as, according to the Hellenic Police, contradictions have been identified, primarily regarding the timeline.

The 28-year-old secretary had initially stated that George Mazonakis arrived at the clinic around 3:30 p.m., while other evidence from the investigation indicated a different arrival time, shortly before 2:00 p.m.

According to reports, she initially stood by her account, but in her new testimony she provided details that the defense believes strengthen the case of Ilias Theodoropoulos.

According to authorities, other employees of the clinic are also expected to be called to testify in order to clarify the sequence of events.

The Request for Release on Electronic Monitoring

Meanwhile, the next legal steps for the two doctors in pretrial detention are being considered.

Their defense team has the option to appeal to the Misdemeanor Council against the pretrial detention orders.

However, according to reports, Ilias Theodoropoulos is considering a different course of action and may file a direct request with the investigating judge to replace pretrial detention with house arrest and electronic monitoring (“ankle monitor”).

According to reports, the doctor in custody has remained calmer in recent days, spending much of his time reading and watching television, while avoiding leaving his cell.

The investigation, however, continues, with the results of the histological and toxicological tests considered crucial to understanding the full picture of Giorgos Mazonakis’s final hours.
