Overview
- A judge granted the physician provisional release with precautionary measures following his detention over the death of a six-year-old girl and a related case involving a four-year-old.
- Investigators say both children left the clinic sedated without proper observation, and the younger girl's mother took her straight to Hospital de la Ribera despite the doctor's advice to wait an hour.
- The doctor faces accusations of reckless homicide, injuries, theft and failure to render aid, with police outlining a sequence of negligent decisions at the Mireia dental clinic.
- Authorities report that the midazolam administered to both girls was taken from the public hospital where the doctor also worked, which he acknowledged to police and health inspectors.
- Several private clinics in Valencia and Paterna have scrubbed the doctor's profiles from their websites to avoid association, while colleagues expressed surprise and reported no known prior complaints.
