Judge Orders Forensic Report on Hospital Death After Paiporta Care Home’s Dana Crisis

The finding will decide her legal victim status, potentially influencing the case’s death tally.

Overview

  • The Catarroja court joined the son’s appearance to the Dana case after he requested recognition of his mother as a victim.
  • The judge directed the Instituto de Medicina Legal to assess whether the woman’s 1 November 2024 death at Hospital Doctor Peset was caused by the 29 October events at Residencia Savia de Paiporta.
  • The son must submit all medical records relating to his mother as soon as possible, and the residence must deliver its medical files within three days.
  • The forensic report will be based on the son’s testimony and documentation from both the family and the care home.
  • Managers of the Paiporta facility told the court they received no warning or pre‑emergency on 29‑O, a claim now subject to documentary review as the broader probe maintains an official toll previously set at 228, with later administrative recognition reaching 229.
