The exam will be carried out at the Institute of Forensic Medicine of the Polyclinic of the Sicilian capital. According to the mother and father of the little girl, who are under investigation for manslaughter for not having vaccinated her, their daughter 'would have been diagnosed with incorrect pathologies by the doctors in the emergency room of the Cervello hospital, following which the little girl would have undergone inadequate medical care and invasive surgical interventions, which would have ended up worsening the already serious health conditions, causing her death'

The task for the autopsy on the body of the little girl who died at the age of 4 from diphtheria in Palermo should be given in the next few days, with the examination which will then be carried out at the Institute of Forensic Medicine of the Polyclinic of the Sicilian capital. Meanwhile, Anna Rosa's parents, investigated by the Palermo prosecutor's office for manslaughter for not having vaccinated her, have filed a complaint against the three hospitals that treated the little girl from 13 to 19 August: Cervello, Civico and Children's Hospitals (which depends on the Civico) for 'the conduct carried out by healthcare personnel'. And they have appointed Professor Maurizio Municinò, a specialist in forensic medicine, hygiene and prevention, as their party consultant.
The parents' accusations

Based on the parents' story - says the lawyer - 'little Anna Rosa would have been diagnosed with incorrect pathologies by the doctors of the emergency room of the Cervello hospital, following which the little girl would have undergone inadequate medical care and invasive surgical interventions, which would have ended up worsening the child's already serious health conditions, causing the child's death'. The state police officers of the Porta Nuova police station, adds the lawyer, proceeded to seize the health documentation which is already being examined by the investigators. 'We are now awaiting the assignment of the task which will take place in the offices of the Prosecutor's Office, aimed at carrying out the unrepeatable technical investigations (autopsy) to be carried out on Anna Rosa's body, necessary to establish not only the causes of death but above all the possible responsibility of the doctors and medical staff involved in the affair', underlines the parents' lawyer.
