Trani prosecutors on Friday opened a
probe into possible culpable manslaughter after a 42-year-old
woman died after being given a pre-anaesthetic at the dentist's
near the southern Puglia city on Thursday.
The woman died in nearby Corato after suffering a heart attack
after being given the soothing drug.
Prosecutors would like to know whether her death was a
consequence of getting the drug or whether she would have died
anyway.
The dentist has been filed as a possible suspect in the
manslaughter investigation.
