Pulmonologist's Report Casts Doubt on Deaths of Children in Mourtzoukou Case

Greece is grappling with the tragic deaths of four children under the care of Eirini Mourtzoukou. A recent investigation by a pulmonologist has cast doubt on the initial findings, raising serious questions. The pulmonologist's report reveals discrepancies between the initial medical examiner's reports and their own conclusions. For example, in the case of Mourtzoukou's sister who died in 2014, the medical examiner cited a lower respiratory infection, while the pulmonologist stated that this infection was not the cause of death. Similarly, in the case of Mourtzoukou's infant daughter who died in 2021, the medical examiner reported pneumonia and epileptic seizures, but the pulmonologist attributed the death to a probable hypoxic or asphyxic event of unknown etiology. The pulmonologist's findings leave open the possibility of foul play in these cases, prompting further investigation and raising concerns about the safety of children under Mourtzoukou's care. The case underscores the importance of thorough investigations into child deaths and the need for transparency in reporting medical findings. The ongoing investigation promises to shed more light on this tragic situation.
