Baby died at nursery last September: the "white death" hypothesis confirmed
May 3, 2024
Alessandro Izzi, the 11-month-old child who died last September 29th while he was sleeping at the "Raggio di Luna" nursery in Porcellengo, apparently died due to sudden infant death syndrome. Confirmation of what was found during the autopsy of the child came from the vascular pathology department team of the University Clinic of Padua. The investigation, which had called into question Rachele Pezzillo, a 37-year-old from Paese (the director of the nursery school) and the two teachers, Giulia Cavasin, a 27-year-old from Vedelago (also like Pezzillo defended by the lawyers Fabio Busnardo and Giovani Schembri) and Sara Gambardella, 33 years old from Zero Branco (defended by the lawyer Alessio Morosin), all under investigation for the crime of manslaughter, would therefore be directed towards dismissal. The results of the tests would confirm that Alessandro's death would not have been caused by the negligent behaviour of the three operators who, on the contrary, would have made the child lie down correctly, as was also confirmed by the analyzes carried out on the cot. The child's airway has no obstructions, so the hypothesis of suffocation, attributable to regurgitation, should be ruled out. Rather, the possibility would arise that the child was the victim of the so-called Sids, or sudden death of the newborn, colloquially referred to as "white death". An event caused by the sudden death of an infant between one month and one year of age, which remains unexplained after a thorough investigation, including a detailed examination of the circumstances and location of the death, a review of the medical history and a complete autopsy.

Monica Fraulin, a young woman of only 26 years old, died suddenly on her bed in her home where she lived with her mother. Her death follows a period of serious personal and health difficulties that had already profoundly affected her young existence. After days of battling a high fever, Monica appeared to have recovered Wednesday. However, a sudden worsening at dawn on Thursday required urgent emergency intervention.

May 4, 2024
Corropoli – The road accident in which Ettore Muscella, 58, former municipal administrator of Torano Nuovo and well-known seaside entrepreneur in Tortoreto, lost his life in the early afternoon of today, could have been caused by a sudden illness on the part of the driver.
