Montesarchio. A shocking tragedy has shocked the community of Montesarchio. Felice Ferretta, 73, died last Thursday at the Benevento Civil Hospital after being admitted for a simple fall at home. His family, entrusted to Studio3A, filed a complaint, triggering an investigation by the Benevento Prosecutor's Office into manslaughter.
It all started last December 10th, when the elderly man was found on the floor at home due to a fall, probably caused by a withdrawal crisis. Transported to the Emergency Room of Fatebenefratelli, after a series of tests he was discharged with a diagnosis of a broken finger and a possible fracture to the nasal septum. However, his situation worsened in the hours that followed.
Taken back to the emergency room, Ferretta was found in critical condition: three broken ribs, a punctured lung, and a large hematoma on his head.
