AI-generated summary
Why It Matters
The little girl had been hospitalized in Rho for abdominal pain and constipation before being urgently transferred to Buzzi.
Three doctors investigated by the prosecutor's office for the death of the 2-year-old girl who died in the night between 8 and 9 September at the Buzzi pediatric hospital in Milan.
The three registered in the file of those under investigation with the hypothesis of manslaughter do not work at Buzzi but at Rho hospital, where the little girl was initially admitted to the emergency room. The registrations are preparatory to the carrying out of the autopsy ordered to clarify the causes of death. The file opened by the office after the report of a doctor from Buzzi also includes the complaint filed by an aunt of the little girl to the police.
The reconstruction
The little girl named Anastasia had been taken to the emergency room after a visit to the pediatrician for abdominal pain probably triggered by a possible intestinal obstruction that had caused constipation. In the Rho facility his condition worsened to the point of cardiac arrest. The emergency transport to the pediatric facility in Milan where his death was declared was useless.
