The time of the service has not been announced publicly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mazonakis died on 9 September at the age of 54. He was born and raised in Nikaia, where thousands gathered for his funeral on 14 September at the Church of the Holy Trinity.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Toxicology results in the investigation<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The toxicology results are at the centre of the investigation, according to Mononews. Tests found a total of eight substances in the singer\u2019s blood, including propofol, midazolam and flumazenil, the report says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Propofol is used in anaesthesia and sedation. Midazolam is a benzodiazepine with a sedative effect, while flumazenil is given to reverse the effect of benzodiazepines, Mononews reports.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These substances were also reportedly mentioned in witness statements to the investigating magistrate, according to the report. A quantitative analysis, which will show their concentrations in the blood, is considered key to assessing the findings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An expert appointed by the family is also taking part in the process, the report says, citing the same information.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Third search at the clinic<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Thursday, Security Police officers carried out a third search at the clinic on Karpathou Street, according to Mononews. They seized two vials of pharmaceutical substances and two leaflets, the report says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two prosecutors and the lawyers of the two doctors accused in the case attended the search. The doctors\u2019 lawyers reportedly argue that the new search was brought forward because the property owner has ended the lease and wants the premises back.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investigating authorities are examining the laboratory results together with witness statements and the claims of those involved, in order to establish how the substances were administered, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The toxicology findings alone are not enough to reach a definitive conclusion about the singer\u2019s death, Mononews reports. The investigation remains under way, and authorities are awaiting the completion of the laboratory analyses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His mother, Klio Mazonaki, spoke about her grief in a television interview on Friday 16 October.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source: Mononews<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!--[googlesitekit-end-of-content]--><\/p>\n<footer class=\"article-tags entry-footer\">\n<div>\n\t\t<strong>Tags:<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\tAthens, Church of the Holy Trinity Nikaia, flumazenil, Giorgos Mazonakis, Giorgos Mazonakis memorial, Greece, Greece news, greek music, Greek news, greek news now, greek news on demand, greek news today, Greek singer, investigation, Klio Mazonaki, laiko, Mazonakis, memorial service, midazolam, Nikaia, Piraeus, propofol, Third Cemetery of Nikaia, toxicology\t<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"category_container author-information\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<section id=\"authorpage\" class=\"authorpage\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e431a0aaf2dcb7e221a3bd95d4b4996106e91f12afa178bba01dd45d1cdacc01?s=164&amp;r=g\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e431a0aaf2dcb7e221a3bd95d4b4996106e91f12afa178bba01dd45d1cdacc01?s=328&amp;r=g 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-164 photo lazyload\" height=\"164\" width=\"164\" decoding=\"async\"\/>\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"author-content\">\n<h5>Athens Bureau<\/h5>\n<p>Athens Bureau is Greek City Times\u2019 news desk in Athens, reporting on Greek politics, society, economy, culture, and breaking national news for readers in Greece and the diaspora.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fa-solid fa-link\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/greekcitytimes.com\/2026\/10\/18\/giorgos-mazonakis-memorial\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ATHENS, October 2026 \u2014 The Giorgos Mazonakis memorial service takes place on Sunday 18 October at the Third Cemetery of Nikaia, as the judicial investigation into the circumstances of the singer\u2019s death continues, according to Mononews.
