Jesko was taken to the Uniontown City Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.

General Hospital Recap: Anna Questions Sonny About Natalia's Death originally appeared on Daytime Confidential. On today's General Hospital recap: Kristina wants out of the hospital, but Alexis insists she stay. Kristina explains what happened and how Marco saved her life. Alexis is still blaming Sonny. When Molly stops by, Kristina tells her that she doesn't blame Sonny, though she understands her mother's fear. Molly says she can't lose her sister. Marco sits crying at his mother's bedside and then wants details on what happened. Anna explains how they found Natalia unresponsive, and Isaiah tells him that she couldn't be revived. Marco tells them about the drunk text and says he was on his way to see his mother when he came across the fire. Anna tells him ADA Turner asked them to pick up Natalia, because she'd shown up at the christening to talk to Sonny. Marco believes Sonny killed Natalia and the overdose was no accident. He says Natalia had evidence on Sonny she was going to turn over and is certain Sonny wanted to stop her. Lucas stops him from telling Anna that Natalia was planning on leaving town. Brook Lynn tells Tracy that Deception is in trouble and how some of Sonny's money wasn't clean. Tracy' is upset but Brook Lynn blames herself and defends Sonny. She says it was the accountant's mistake, and they need to bury it. Tracy says they should use it to their advantage. Tracy thinks they should let the authorities know, but Brook Lynn worries about Gio, since Sonny is the only person he talks to. Tracy says she's also trying to protect Gio. Chase updates Tracy and Brook Lynn on the fire at Charlie's and Natalia's death. He says Anna is on her way to talk to Sonny as he's a possible suspect. Tracy decides she needs to get a hold of Gio to get him away from Sonny. Vaughn finds Josslyn outside Charlie's, upset about the fire. She tells him Kristina almost died because of Sonny. She says this is one of the reasons she wanted to join the bureau, in order to take Sonny down. Josslyn figures Vaughn will use her vendetta to get her out of the WSB, but he likes she has a goal. The two share a kiss. Sonny tells Jason he's certain Sidwell is responsible for the fire at Charlie's, and since he came to town, two of his children have almost died. Jason promises they'll find out who set the fire. Sonny says he's fine if Marco becomes collateral damage. Sidwell summons Selina and tells her that she's in the middle of a war with Sonny. Selina says she has an understanding with Sonny, but Sidwell says two of her goons doused Charlie's and Sonny will follow the trail back to her. Selina realizes Sidwell has set her up. She says she'll talk to Sonny, but Sidwell doesn't think he will listen to her. Sidwell says her goons will point the finger at her and she should leave town. Selina says if she leaves, she could only come back if Sonny is dead. Sidwell agrees and Selina agrees to accept the blame and leave. Gio tells Emma he's thinking of dropping out of PCU. He doesn't want to play the violin anymore and knows he will lose his scholarship. Emma mentions Sonny, but Gio says he feels uncomfortable taking money from him now. She tells him to wait and see how he feels in September. Emma asks Gio for help proving Dalton is testing on animals, in order to keep him occupied. She says she can't prove anything because she can't get into the lab. Liz and Lucas discuss the possibility Sonny had Natalia killed. They note, with Kristina almost dying, this could be the start of a mob war. Marco is too frazzled to call his father, so Lucas calls Sidwell and tells him about Natalia's death. Sidwell heads to the hospital to comfort his son. Marco blames himself, telling Sidwell he was delayed getting to Natalia because he stopped to help Kristina. Marco says thanks to him, Sonny's daughter is alive, but thanks to Sonny, his mother is dead. Anna shows up at Sonny's and tells him Natalia is dead. Sonny denies any connection, but Anna shows him footage of one of his bodyguards talking to Natalia at the hotel. Anna says Natalia was planning on giving evidence to the ADA but subsequently died. She tells Sonny he's a person of interest and must take him in. Keep checking back for the latest General Hospital recaps!
