A 16-year-old girl who came from abroad for a holiday to visit her grandmother died after undergoing surgery in the ENT department of a regional hospital in Uzbekistan. The reason for the surgery was difficulty breathing, Millar reports.

The tragedy occurred on July 1 in Samarkand. According to relatives, a few hours after the start of the operation, doctors carried the patient out on a stretcher with an oxygen mask, but, according to the family, she was already dead.

"I waited for a long time, but they told me that the operation was continuing, that my granddaughter had not yet regained consciousness. An hour and a half later, a group of doctors entered the operating room with a device. Later, my granddaughter was carried out on a stretcher, connected to oxygen. It seems to me that she was already dead then," the grandmother said.

Relatives believe that the death may have been caused by a tampon left in the airways by doctors. The hospital said that the patient's condition worsened after the operation.

The prosecutor's office has ordered a forensic medical examination, and official investigations are also being conducted.
