New digital data is shedding light on the final hours before the death of Greek singer Giorgos Mazonakis.
Laboratory expertise conducted by the Criminal Investigation Directorate on the phone of doctor Ioanna Gaka has revealed two deleted photos and a video, created within a few minutes on September 9, at a time when the singer was at a clinic on Karneadou Street in Athens.
According to expert data, the first photo was taken at 14:43:36, while the video was created at 14:43:55. Just a few minutes later, at 14:45:22, the second photo was taken.
All three files were deleted a few hours later, at almost the same time. The first photo was deleted at 19:09:09, while the second photo and video were deleted at 19:09:13.
A detail that gives particular importance to one of the photos is the fact that geographical data was found in it. The coordinates coincide with a point on Karneadou Street, where the clinic where, according to the investigation, Mazonakis was located is located.
Experts have also determined that the first photo was sent from Dr. Gaka's phone to another number. To determine who it was sent to, the phone's privacy is now being removed.
In one of the photos, according to the investigation, Giorgos Mazonakis is seen lying on a hospital bed, while the treatment equipment is in operation. He is wearing a yellow short-sleeved shirt and is covered from the waist down with a blanket. Intravenous lines are visible in his hands.
The second photo was taken at 14:45:22 and was created as a file four seconds later. It also contains data related to the location on Karneadou Street.
According to the investigation, Mazonakis had begun the plasmapheresis procedure at that time. The treatment began at around 14:37 p.m., while the photos were taken a few minutes after the procedure began.
But it is precisely after this that the most important part of the chronology being examined by the authorities begins.
At 15:22 the device recorded the first alarm. Another alarm appeared at 15:23, while at 15:45 two more signals were recorded.
However, the call to the EKAB emergency medical service was only made at 16:11 p.m.
Thus, **49 minutes** passed between the first alarm and the request for emergency help. This interval has become one of the main points of the investigation, as authorities are trying to determine what happened during this period, what the device alarms meant, what condition the singer was in, and what actions were taken by the people at the clinic.
The chronology of events, according to current data, is presented as follows:
14:37 – The plasmapheresis procedure begins.
14:43:36 – The first photo is taken.
14:43:55– The video is created.
14:45:22 – Second photo taken.
15:22 – The first alarm of the device is recorded.
15:23 – Another alarm is recorded.
15:45 – Other alarm signals are recorded.
16:11 – A call is made to EKAB.
19:09:09 – The first photo is deleted.
19:09:13 – The second photo and video are deleted.
All three files were found in the DCIM folder of Ioanna Gaka's phone. Experts point out that this space can also store materials imported via AirDrop or synchronized via iCloud Photos, but for two photos, specific data related to their capture and location on Karneadou Street was found.
Another important element of the investigation is the testimony of the taxi driver who transported Mazonakis from his home in Voula to Karneadou.
According to his testimony, the singer had communicated with him since the early hours of the morning of September 9 and had asked him to pick him up around noon. The driver arrived at 11:55, while Mazonakis left the house around 13:15-13:20.
During the journey, the driver noticed a scratch on the singer's forehead. Mazonakis had placed a napkin over the wound and, at the driver's suggestion, they stopped at a pharmacy on Vouliagmenis Boulevard, in Glyfada, where the wound was covered with a plaster.
They then continued towards Kolonaki. Mazonakis asked the driver to take him to the address Karneadou 11, without telling him what he would be doing there. The taxi arrived around 13:50-13:59.
The singer told the driver that he would stay for about two hours and then continue towards Kifisia. The driver decided to wait for him in the surrounding area.
After about two and a half hours, having not received any calls from the singer, the driver contacted a colleague to replace him. The replacement took place at around 17:15 p.m.
A few minutes later, at around 17:30 PM, while heading home, the driver received a call from a friend, who informed him that Giorgos Mazonakis had passed away.
The witness stated that he had known the singer for about 24 years and had transported him several times. According to him, during the September 9 trip, Mazonakis did not display any unusual behavior and, at first glance, did not appear to be in serious health condition.
Now, investigators are trying to reconstruct the last hours of the singer's life minute by minute, comparing phone records, device alarms, emergency communications, and the testimonies of people who were near him.
The investigation remains focused on the 49-minute interval between the first alarm from the device, at 15:22 PM, and the call to EKAB, at 16:11 PM, as well as the reason why the three files created at the clinic were deleted a few hours later.
