Toxicological and histological studies are expected in the investigation into the death of a 5-year-old child in Patras. However, at the moment, some evidence indicates possible abuse of the girl.
At the time of death, it was discovered that she had not eaten for two days, and the mother refused to transfer her daughter to another hospital. Questions also arose about the mother's relationship with the child during childbirth and hospitalization, and signs of violence were found. How tells newsbeast.gr edition, the little girl could not eat for two days, so the mother and her friend took the child to the hospital. The baby had a seizure, but the doctors were able to help her. The girl came to her senses, drank some water and stood up.
The hospital decided to take her to Patras by ambulance and accompanied by a doctor so that further tests could be carried out to ensure that she was out of danger. The mother categorically refused and, together with her boyfriend, wanted to take the child, claiming that he was fine and therefore no further action was required. The girl was eventually transferred to a hospital in Patras, but then problems arose.
The mother had neither the child's medical record nor AMKAand she did not provide any contact information to the doctors. The woman claimed to be a nomad visiting relatives and living in a camp somewhere in Corinth.
At the first stage, no criminal case was opened, although a discovery indicating ill-treatment was discovered and an investigation is being carried out to see if it is connected with the girl’s death. Additional information will be provided by the results of toxicological and histological tests, which are expected to be published shortly.
“We have death without a diagnosis,” stated Deputy Director of the University Hospital of Patras, reporting that a 5-year-old baby had died. It is noted that this is the second loss of a child that the mother has experienced, since she previously lost another child who died in her sleep.
