The preliminary examination of the Prosecutor's Office of Volos is underway, ordered days after the accident, for the circumstances under which 14-year-old Eleni was injured, who last week lost the "battle" for life after six months of hospitalization at the Hippocrates Hospital of Thessaloniki and her funeral was held dressed as a bride in Volos. With her death, the facts change and the case file is opened again.
According to reports, the doctors do not confirm the existence of abrasions on her face and neck, as was initially estimated, nor the fact that she suffered electrocution, as her relatives claimed when they took her to the hospital, nor particular findings in the brain, while it is estimated that the death was caused by cardiac arrest, which is expected to be confirmed by the forensic report that the Public Prosecutor's Office expects to be included in the case file.
Without breathing and pulse
According to the certificate of the doctors of the Volos Hospital, the minor was transferred to the hospital by private car on January 4, 2022, at 3.45 in the morning and her relatives (her mother and grandfather) stated that they found her lying in the shower of her house, she was soaked and when they tried to pick her up they were "hit" by the current.
The minor was reportedly bruised from cardiac arrest, when she arrived at the hospital she had no breath or pulse, and was bruised due to a cardiac arrest she suffered. During cardiopulmonary resuscitation the girl suffered a convulsion, doctors immediately intubated her and she was evacuated to the Hippocrates Hospital of Thessaloniki.
In the hospital doctors' report, there is no mention of other marks (abrasions or bruises) on the face and neck, nor of a blow to the head, which the relatives claim was caused by the girl's fall into the shower.
Her mother and grandfather initially told the hospital and then in their statements to the police that while they were at home they heard a loud thump from the bathroom, went in and saw the minor had fallen into the shower and when they themselves tried to pick her up they were "struck" by the current, and had found that she had a fractured skull.
It was not electrified
On January 7 the police preliminary investigation was started, based on the report of electrocution, and in addition to the police, a DEDDIE crew went to the house and found that electricity was being stolen in order to electrify the house.
According to corroborating information, the conclusion of the PPP confirms that bare wire from the PPP pole was in the way to reach the house (passing through the bathroom), which was a non-electrified property, did not have a PPP clock. It was also noted that the installation was done in an improper manner and put the residents of the house at risk of electrocution.
Changing the facts
The statement of the mother and grandfather of the 14-year-old girl to the police was given at the end of March, when they returned from Ippokratio where they were at Eleni's side. According to reports, the relatives testified that they were talking to the girl, who was listening and crying, but was unable to respond.
With the preliminary investigation underway, the exposure of a minor in danger is being investigated and the exact circumstances of her injury are being investigated but after the death of the minor, the case is expected to take a different turn as the circumstances of her death will be investigated.
In this regard, statements will also be sought from the doctors as the case file will be reopened. The police have already been asked to forward the case file to the prosecution again.
Information indicates that the grandfather, who made the illegal electricity connection and endangered the life of his granddaughter, will be asked to testify again.
Finally, the forensic report from the hospital of Thessaloniki is expected to be requested and sent to be included in the case file.
The doctors' report on 4 May
As part of the preliminary investigation, a certificate on the state of health of the 14-year-old girl was requested from the Hippokratio hospital, signed on 4 May, a period when the minor was still hospitalized, and arrived at the prosecutor's office in June.
Reports say the note states that the minor was hospitalized intubated and sedated after a bathtub injury, according to her relatives.
Doctors had diagnosed extensive edema (swelling) in the brain area, possibly due to a vascular factor due to the arrest, even days after the bleeding stopped and she underwent a CT scan.
The report also states that no point of entry and exit of electrical current was found in the body, which refutes her family's claim that she was electrocuted.
Finally, the report states that the medical actions taken did not reveal any particular findings in the brain, except for the swelling.
