Deadly 100% are the levels of ketamine detected in the toxicology tests of Georgina from the further analysis of the samples carried out by scientists at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, according to information reported by the Greek protothema.gr.

Ketamine was detected in Georgina's body three weeks ago by the Athens Laboratory, while all this time scientists were trying with continuous verifications to determine the quantity in order to "unlock" the mechanism of the little girl's death.
The confirmation came from the Laboratory of Forensic and Toxicology of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, which had undertaken the quantitative assessment and delivered the results last week. What becomes clear from the analyses carried out in Thessaloniki is, among other things, that the substance was not administered for medical reasons and that the quantities of ketamine detected were 6 mg per litre of blood. The concentration found is assessed by the scientists as 100% lethal.
According to the same information, Georgina's death was rapid, just a few minutes after administration, and is described as acute poisoning. It also seems clear from the analyses that the administration of the amount of ketamine was administered exogenously. Based on the fact that the death was very rapid, two possibilities for the mode of administration are being considered more seriously: either the dose was administered intravenously, through the serum for example, or intramuscularly with an injection.
Since the experts have not yet reached a conclusion with certainty, the third version of administration, which is through the nasal route, is also being considered. However, given that in this case Georgina's death would be slower, this possibility seems to be removed.
As for the mechanism of death, there are three steps: in the first phase, breathing stops, in the second, cardiac arrest is induced and finally death occurs.
The scientists of the Laboratory of Forensic and Toxicology of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, headed by the experienced Professor Nikos Raiko, managed to confirm the substance in Georgina's body, to quantify it and last week sent the results to Athens.
