Pair probed over young woman's death after rhinoplasty

Two people, a father and son who are
allegedly doctors, have been placed under investigation on
manslaughter charges after Margaret Spada, a 22-year-old from
Siracusa, died following a rhinoplasty operation on November 7,
investigative sources said Wednesday.

   
The pair are the owners of the medical centre in Rome where the
young woman fell sick right after being administered local
anaesthesia.

   
Spada died four days later at the San Eugenio Hospital where she
had been taken in critical condition.

   
Police did not find any document or medical chart regarding the
surgery at the private clinic, which did not have any nameplate
or sign outside, investigative sources said.

   
Spada had reportedly found the centre through an ad on social
media.

   
The State attorney's office has ordered an autopsy which will be
performed at the department of pathology of the Tor Vergata
hospital in Rome.
