There is a suspect, 6 months after the fact, for the death of Michele Merlo, the former competitor of XFactor, 28 years old from Bassano (Vicenza) who died last June 6 in Bologna from cerebral ischemia caused by fulminant leukemia. This is what filters from judicial sources, writes the Courier of the Veneto, after the investigation file for manslaughter was transferred in recent weeks from Vicenza to Bologna. The alleged offense is that of manslaughter following medical conduct.
In recent days, the Veneto Region sent inspectors to the Cittadella hospital and to the Rosà medical center, where Michele initially turned to for the headache he felt and the bruises on his leg, to acquire the necessary documents for an investigation internal.
Who was Michele Merlo, from childhood in Vicenza to success with X-Factor and Friends
The young man had alerted his family doctor and had sent emails to the local health service, also attaching photos of the bruises. On May 26th there was a visit to the emergency room of Cittadella. He was given a white code, so his situation was not judged serious. Leukemia was never diagnosed. The magistrates will have to understand if it could have been discovered earlier and, therefore, the question is: «Could Michele have been saved?».
