Nis Prosecutors Notified of Doctor's Death in Medosevac

The body of a 42-year-old doctor was found in her family home in Medosevac, near Nis, on Sunday evening. Neighbors discovered her. Emergency medical services were notified on August 9 around 7:30 p.m. that a deceased woman was inside the house.

Because the death occurred with no witnesses present, the emergency service called the police. A patrol was dispatched to the address in the neighborhood right away.

What police found at the scene

At the scene, police established that there were no circumstances suggesting the death resulted from a crime. Based on that finding, there are no suspects in the case. The Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Nis was notified of the death.

The cause of death has not been disclosed, and the deceased’s full identity has not been made public.

Who was in the house

The doctor lived in the house with her severely ill mother. Her brother was on vacation at the time of her death.

That is why it was neighbors, not a member of the household, who found the body.

How long had it been since the last contact?

The mother said she last spoke with her daughter on Saturday evening. The body was found roughly 24 hours later, on Sunday evening. According to unofficial information, the doctor had already been dead for several hours by the time she was found.

The sequence of events, according to sources familiar with the case:

• Saturday evening, the last conversation between mother and daughter
• Sunday, around 7:30 p.m., emergency services notified that a body was in the house
• shortly after, a police patrol dispatched to the scene
• that same evening, the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Nis notified

Medosevac is a settlement within the city of Nis, and the house where the body was found is a family home.

The police patrol’s finding concerns the state of the house that evening: it indicates no signs of a crime, not what caused the death. Those are two separate questions, and nothing further was disclosed that evening.
