Naples – Tomorrow at 15:00 PM, the Nola Cathedral will be the venue for a final farewell to Domenico Caliendo, the two-year-old boy who died on February 21st at Monaldi Hospital. The news was confirmed by Francesco Petruzzi, the family's lawyer, following a morning packed with crucial legal proceedings at the Naples Courthouse.
As the community prepares for the funeral, the justice system is accelerating to shed light on a tragedy that still presents many unclear issues, related to the transplant of an organ that was apparently already irreparably compromised when it arrived in the operating room.
A task force of 25 experts for the autopsy
The hearing before the investigating judge, which concluded today, focused on assigning the autopsy procedures, scheduled for this afternoon at the Second Polyclinic in Naples.
Given the complexity of the case, the number of professionals involved is impressive: 25 experts have been appointed, including consultants chosen by the GIP, experts from the family and experts appointed by the defense of the seven Monaldi doctors registered in the register of suspects on the hypothesis of manslaughter.
The crux of the testimonies between Naples and Bolzano
The hearing was not without procedural tensions. The parties' discussions were interrupted for two separate deliberations, necessitated by the discussion of the collection of testimonies from healthcare personnel. At the heart of the investigation is the reconstruction of the entire transplant process: from organ procurement in Bolzano, to transportation, to the final implantation in Naples.
The magistrates intend to clarify at what point in the chain the heart damage occurred and whether there was any negligence in assessing his fitness for service. Obtaining the reports of doctors and nurses present in the operating rooms in the two cities will be crucial in determining individual responsibility for what should have been a lifesaving operation that turned tragic.
