The death of the esteemed Cuorgnatese doctor Roberto Colombo, found lifeless in the garden of his villa in Ceresole Reale, becomes a mystery. The property is currently under seizure, with seals on the door. Everyone initially thought of an illness, but the first to raise doubts about the initial reconstruction was the medical examiner of the ASL / To4 Stefano Ricciardelli. What didn’t completely convince him were those wounds on his head and hands.
On Saturday afternoon, then, the deputy prosecutor Alessandro Gallo, went personally to Ceresole, to coordinate the findings of the carabinieri. Operations went on until late at night. Currently on the magistrate’s desk there is an open file for “acts relating to the death of. .. “, therefore without the hypothesis of a crime or under investigation. The prosecutor, at the moment, is not unbalanced: the hypothesis of illness remains standing, but to establish the causes of death will only be the autopsy that will be carried out on Friday by Dr. Silvana Temi. Another element that made the investigators suspicious was the discovery of a belt, on the ground, in the garden, near the body (which did not have any in his pants).
It seems that the man, then, once he fell to the ground, he dragged himself for a few meters. Also noteworthy is the presence of a broken vase in the house.
