The body of Germano Mancini, the commander of the Carabinieri barracks in Scorze' (Venice), who died on August 21 in Havana (Cuba) where he was on vacation, returned from Cuba last Saturday. Since yesterday, the body - local newspapers write - has been in the morgue in Noale (Venice).
The autopsy by Cuban doctors attributed the death to "sepsis from bronchopneumonia of an unspecified germ and multiple organ damage", without mentioning the monkeypox, hypothesis leaked at first.
Mancini, who arrived in Cuba on August 15 with a couple of friends, was hospitalized in critical condition on August 18, and died on the evening of the 21st. The non-commissioned officer's wife has hired lawyers to shed further light on Mancini's death, asking the Venice Prosecutor's Office for a new autopsy.
