Pair probed over young woman's

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.
