A judge from Pitesti died after allegedly injecting gasoline into his vein. According to local media, the man was taken to Pitesti District Hospital in critical condition, where he died while being transported from there to a medical unit in Bucharest.

The judge, Gabriel Apostol, was found by his family in critical condition and was taken by ambulance to Pitesti District Hospital. After he was stabilized, doctors decided to transfer him to a hospital in Bucharest, but the judge died on the way.

“There were few chances. From what I was told by a colleague who stabilized him at UPU so that he could be transferred to Floreasca Hospital, the patient was decompensated from all points of view. Maybe his only chance was to go to the toxicology center in Bucharest,” Marius Pascu, head doctor of the emergency department of Argeş County Hospital, told Jurnalul de Argeş.

Over time, the judge got into several scandals.

In 2014, he had an argument with two policemen at a gas station on the Pitesti-Bucharest highway. The man was then handcuffed after he called the officers “policemen” after he called 112 himself to report that he had been attacked.

A month after that incident, Gabriel Apostol was involved in a scandal in a store in Pitesti. After exchanging insults, he was taken out of the store by security guards, who called the police. When he left the parking lot, the judge took the store employee on the hood of the car, according to stirilorprotv.ro.
