Notes on this record
What emerges when the official register data are compared with the press sources collected below.
- The only contemporary source, StampaSera of 16 May 1988, estimates the age at between 30 and 40 years and the height at 1.70 m: the record lists 40-45 years and 180 cm.
- The body had been weighted down with a six-kilogram metal plate enclosed in a bag and fastened to the belt with a padlock, plus a weight tied to one foot: elements that suggest homicide, while the cause recorded in the record is drowning.
- Among the investigators' hypotheses was the disappearance of a local hospital employee, unheard from since the previous September: no later source confirms the connection.
