Notes on this record
What emerges when the official register data are compared with the press sources collected below.
- Investigators noted some inconsistencies that do not rule out alternative hypotheses to suicide: the man's feet were touching the ground, and a small wooden twig was found near his left ear; no documents or money were found.
- A witness noticed him the afternoon before at the Allerona station, getting off a Roma-Firenze train, without luggage, behaving calmly, as he walked toward the town centre.
