A new expert report filed in court in support of the opposition to the dismissal of the investigation into the death of Alex Mazzoni, the 17-year-old who died on 11 March 2020 at the Santa Maria della Misericordia hospital after several cycles of chemotherapy.

And from the document it emerges that the seventeen-year-old, contrary to what was claimed by the judge’s experts, was not suffering from angiodysplasia and that he died due to the consequences due to the chemo-induced mucositis which caused him the ulcers and hemorrhages which caused the bleeding from which he resulting in death.

Alex’s parents also presented a complaint to the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Florence and to the General Prosecutor’s Office at the Court of Appeal of Florence, in which they also report that the results of the autopsy emerged after almost a year and after numerous reminders of the lawyer.

And they say: “We are saddened and tired. We have to endure the very painful absence of our son and, at least, we want to know for sure what happened, why he died. We will never stop until the truth comes out. For Alex. And for justice.”
