Simultaneously, the investigation has expanded to include the medical response at Cephalonia Hospital. Authorities are reviewing testimonies from medical staff to determine which doctors were involved in treating the victim, who suffered from cardiac arrest and pulmonary edema. This inquiry follows the resignation of the hospital’s director.
