“Angelos underwent all the required tests, in accordance with protocol, to determine whether there was any brain activity, and unfortunately, the results were negative. The child did not make it,” said Giorgos Chalkiadakis, Director of the University Hospital of Heraklion, in a statement to ERT.
Despite the tireless efforts of the hospital’s doctors, who fought to save the child while he was in the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (ICU), all tests conducted since Friday, when the process began, returned negative results.
According to the hospital director, the child’s grandmother has given her consent for Angelos’ organs to be donated.
The three-year-old boy had been admitted to the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) of PAGNI (University General Hospital of Heraklion), with his condition being assessed as extremely critical from the very beginning.
Meanwhile, his 26-year-old mother and her 44-year-old partner remain in custody, facing charges including attempted murder against the young Angelos.
