2 more health staff probed over boy who died after damaged-heart transplant

Two additional health workers are under investigation regarding the death of two-year-old Domenico Caliendo, who received a damaged heart transplant. This raises the total number of staff being probed to nine, including a coordinator and a social-health operator from the Bolzano hospital. Seven other medical professionals are already facing charges of culpable homicide. The heart's damage is believed to be linked to improper transport conditions, specifically the use of dry ice instead of regular ice. The case has garnered national attention, prompting Premier Giorgia Meloni to reach out to the boy's mother to offer support and assure that justice will be pursued.
