Now that the autopsy has definitively clarified the natural causes of death, everything is ready for the funeral in the Cathedral
CASTELFRANCO. In all likelihood, clearance will be granted by the judiciary today for the celebration of the funeral of Serena Fasan, the 37-year-old pharmacist found dead on Wednesday 25 August in her home in Via Ponchini. The autopsy on Tuesday cleared the terrible doubt that hovered about this case, which is that Serena may have been the victim of an assault. A doubt that had exacerbated the pain of Serena’s partner, Mattia Piva, and of the woman’s parents, already burdened by enormous pain. The woman, in addition to them, has left a two-year-old son.
As mayor Stefano Marcon rightly pointed out in commenting on the outcome of the autopsy, it is certainly not a relief to know that the death occurred from natural causes. But precisely on that hypothesis, albeit remote, in this last week the attention of an entire city had focused on a very well-known person and family: she as an appreciated pharmacist at the Giorgione shopping center, he as manager of the Ai Do Gati in via Filzi in front of the walls. While Serena’s father, Francesco, was for a long time an esteemed radiology technician at the Castelfranco hospital.
The perplexities of the investigators concerned the presence of marks on Serena’s neck and body, at first glance inexplicable. While indicating immediately that it was almost certainly an illness, the reservations continued to exist, also considering the almost simultaneous suicide of Serena’s uncle, Simone, 55, which took place a few hours after the tragedy in Via Ponchini.
The execution of the autopsy, which indicated a cardiac arrest as the cause of death whose nature will be further investigated by analyzing the heart muscle, clarified the contours of the story.
That Wednesday afternoon in the condominium no one had heard strange noises: apart from that “help” heard by some neighbors, but which was not given attention because it was not followed by other alarming noises: not a scream, but something more subdued, like the testimonies say, so much so as to be confused with the noise coming from a TV. But to this was also added the suicide of Serena’s uncle, Simone, 55. This too was a circumstance which, until it was clarified, could not but ask questions.
Hence the invitation by the parish priest of the Duomo, Don Dionisio Salvadori, to maintain a respectful silence until the competent authorities have pronounced themselves.
Now the family is preparing to give the last farewell to both of them, in funeral ceremonies for Serena and Simone (also for him the clearance for the funeral is scheduled for today). It is very likely that there will be two separate ceremonies.
