The girl died unexpectedly in her home in September 2019. The parents were told by the hospital that the doctor had made no mistake and that the girl had died of her illness.

However, DN now reveals that a deviation report was written about the case in the fall of 2025, describing "a series of remarkable events" in the doctor's handling. At the same time, according to the report, it is not possible to establish a certain connection between the treatment and the death.

Recently, the Jönköping region sent a lex Maria report to Ivo about 50 patients who suffered serious medical harm, or were at risk of such, linked to the same doctor. This includes the girl's case.
