Authorities in Mexico are investigating a case of suspected medical malpractice after eight deaths in the state of Sonora related to IVs administered in the same facility.
Mexican officials have not yet made an arrest in the suspected medical malpractice case at a private clinic in Hermosillo, which allegedly administered IVs that led to the deaths.
Representatives from state and federal agencies met to better coordinate their investigations in recent days. The state prosecutor says laboratory analysis by the federal health authority of the solutions involved in the deaths is in advanced stages.
Authorities have closed the clinic where the IVs were administered, but the attending physician suspected of involuntary manslaughter in the deaths remains at large.
Sonora’s attorney general says Mexican prosecutors’ offices, as well authorities in the United States, have been issued search alerts.
