An autopsy on the body of Stefano Dal
Corso who died aged 42 in his cell on 12 October 2022 at the
prison of Oristano revealed he might have been strangled, the
detainee's family lawyer said on Wednesday.
The autopsy's results are compatible both with "atypical hanging
as well as strangulation", said the lawyer, Armida Decima,
addressing a press conference on the case held at the Lower
House.
However, she said the autopsy, which was carried out one year
and a half after Dal Corso's death, did not allow to determine
the exact cause of death because of the condition of the lungs
which were "rotten".
"The expert witnesses of the prosecution have said it could be
compatible with hanging but they can't rule out strangulation.
"We will oppose a request to shelve the case", concluded the
attorney.
