CORFU. Coroner waiting for the results from the forensic examination.
There are unanswered questions regarding the tragic death in Kokkini of a 36-year-old father of two young children who died in his sleep following a brief illness with a high fever. He was taken to Corfu Hospital but doctors were unable to do anything other than confirm his death.
Coroner Chrysavgi Koussi told Enimerosi that the macroscopy image shows an infection of the lower respiratory tract. Cultures were immediately sent to the microbiology lab at Athens University and within 24 hours it is expected to have the exact cause of death.
Hospital paediatricians took throat swabs from the children in order to check on the health of the rest of the family and are awaiting the results of the forensic examination.
