Overview
- An initial autopsy reported no anatomical abnormalities or direct explanation for the six-year-old’s death, ruling out congenital disease and airway obstruction.
- Forensic toxicology is analyzing tissues and fluids, and police have sent the sedative vials for testing to the National Toxicology Institute in Barcelona.
- Investigators are prioritizing the sedatives’ traceability, quality, and possible defects as the main working hypothesis.
- Regional authorities confirm the clinic lacked authorization for intravenous sedation, and the odontopediatrician told investigators there was no post-sedation recovery room.
- The four-year-old treated the same day left the pediatric ICU and remains in a hospital ward with favorable progress, as police and health inspectors continue interviews and the court inquiry proceeds.
