According to neakriti.gr, the relatives attribute the incident to negligence on the part of the 46-year-old nurse who was caring for the 95-year-old at the time.
The elderly woman, who already has health problems and is particularly vulnerable due to her advanced age, had to be taken to the hospital. Her condition is described as serious, and she remains hospitalized at the University Hospital of Heraklion.
Following a complaint by her relatives, police authorities arrested the 46-year-old employee. However, upon verbal orders from the prosecutor, the woman was subsequently released.
