THE former Nationalist MP Karl Goud-
er has passed away at the age of 45, the
Nationalist Party has announced.

the news had shocked the party, sending
his condolences to the Gouder family.
"He was a dedicated person who occu-
pied so many important posts within the
PN and its media. Our thoughts are with
his family. We ask that the family's priva-
cy is respected at this delicate moment."
The lifeless body of Gouder was found
near the former Customs House in Val-
letta. The death was not being treated as
suspicious.

THE magistrate investigating Stephen Mangion's
death in the waiting area of Mater Dei Hospital's
emergency department has found no negligence
from doctors who treated the man.
Magistrate Joe Mifsud concluded that the medical
staff who dealt with Mangion on the telemedicine
helpline, at the Floriana health centre and Mater
Dei could not have "reasonably diagnosed" Man-
gion's condition. The magistrate also recommend-
ed the proces verbal be published to allay public
alarm caused by the death.
The proces verbal was published in its entirety by
the Health Ministry on Tuesday after its conclu-
sions were leaked by the media.
