The two doctors who run the private clinic in Kolonaki where popular Greek singer George Mazonakis suffered a cardiac arrest have been released after giving evidence to police.

The doctors, who are married, voluntarily went to the Kypseli police station to answer questions as part of the preliminary investigation into Mazonakis’ death.

Their lawyer, Nikos Agapinos, told reporters after their departure that the doctors rejected any connection between the medical procedure and the singer’s death.

“We are waiting for the forensic findings. There is no connection between the medical procedure and the death,” Agapinos said.

Mazonakis reportedly went to the treatment centre on Karneadou Street in Kolonaki on Wednesday afternoon to undergo an anti-ageing procedure involving plasmapheresis. He subsequently suffered a cardiac arrest.

Before the doctors gave evidence, Agapinos said the singer had been a patient of the female doctor.

“The doctor and his wife are personal friends of mine. The singer was his wife’s patient,” he said.

Agapinos described the incident as potentially coincidental, while stressing that forensic findings would determine what happened.

“I think it is a coincidental event, which remains to be proven,” he said.

The lawyer also said the equipment used at the clinic had been declared to the Athens Medical Association.

“We are talking about a completely legal medical practice with declared equipment,” he said.

Police investigation continues

Authorities remain at the preliminary investigation stage as they examine the circumstances surrounding Mazonakis’ death, which has attracted widespread public attention across Greece.

Police are expected to take statements from the clinic’s employees, paramedics and members of Mazonakis’ family.

Police have also sealed off the singer’s home in Voula, Attica, so investigators can conduct a detailed examination of the property without anyone entering beforehand.

Police officers had earlier travelled to the clinic to investigate the premises, but found the facility closed and could not enter the building.

The doctors later went voluntarily to the Kypseli Security Department, where they gave their statements.

Forensic findings expected to provide answers

Mazonakis suffered a cardiac arrest at the clinic and the National Emergency Aid Centre (EKAB) received an emergency call to transfer him to hospital.

Paramedics took him to Elpis Hospital without vital signs. Despite doctors’ efforts, they could not revive him and confirmed his death.

The treatment he reportedly underwent, plasmapheresis, requires specialised equipment and facilities under international practice. The procedure can also carry potential complications, including cardiovascular complications, although the investigation has not established a connection between the treatment and Mazonakis’ death.

The forensic examination and autopsy are expected to provide further evidence about the circumstances and cause of death.
