THE CASE
Suicide in Venice, doubts, and controversies
five videos to the examination of the power of attorney
the Migrants drowned, by law, obliged to dive: you go by “the wrongful death”
VENICE throws himself into the water and slip off the jacket. The vaporetto pass reverse, is approaching. First a jacket, then two, three, four. He remains motionless, not making a armful to get closer. When the sailor on the vaporetto opens the barcarizzo, the landing hanging on the floor of the ship, it is already too late. The body it sinks, dragged down by his clothes soaked and heavy as a ballast. He was 22 years old the gambiano drowned in the grand Canal in Venice on Sunday afternoon. It is a story of which most only know about the last, tragic moments, taken from the footage captured by the public prosecutor of Venice. The deputy prosecutor Massimo Michelozzi, on the case of 22-year-old gambiano drowned in the Grand Canal on Sunday afternoon, he looked long five videos that have taken over the scene: one from the top, by the camera, Venice Santa Lucia, and four amateur footage, made with a smartphone by the people who were at the shore. The dynamic would seem to exclude any type of responsibility and, above all, highlighted the voluntary nature of the gesture.
You should be, then, to the confirmation of the hypothesis of suicide, so much so that the pm appears not to have melted his doubts about the desirability of having the autopsy. There is no hypothesis of a crime of omission of aid: the sailors are forced to throw the life preserver, not to dive. Have not done them and have not done so, the passengers of the boat: no one came the instinct to dash to his aid. On Social already you dare to make interpretations and illuminate the controversy for those screams in the background that you hear in the video: “Africa”, “By that you return to your home”, “insemenio”, “…eora neghite “. Phrases of ridicule, or inciting others to react? It will be the power of attorney to decide if and how to proceed in the inquiry. In the worst-case interpretations, it would be an offence for incitement to suicide, but at the moment this possibility seems remote. A free-floating wor ds are heavy but the tone seems to be one of the “wake up that but drowning”. And some people may not have understood the situation because that guy stayed motionless and did not ask for help. Maybe it was not even clear what was the intent. In his pockets were found a passport, a residence permit and an identity card issued by the Municipality of Pozzallo (Ragusa) on which will be made all the appropriate checks. The news of the death has shocked family members, who, in fact, were in the dark. The forces of law and order were not yet able to reach them. Most of his relatives live in Germany, the others are scattered in various countries of Northern Europe. T. S., his cousin, is the only one to be still in Italy.
“little time I tried to contact him without success. By September “. “Pozzallo is the municipality in which issue the documents to these guys,” explains Paola, performer of a reception centre to Frosinone, where is hosted the T. S., upset by the news. “What’s happened to him?” (What happened?) continue to repeat. “My cousin was back in the Gambia for a period and in September was back in Italy – says T. S. -. Then in the fall it is moved to Switzerland. There we do not have relatives. I know that was looking for a job, but then they were sent back to Italy”. The 22-year-old we had tried, but no luck. The psychological state experienced by the difficulties that the family might have pushed him to suicide. Last Saturday the young man bought a train ticket to Venice and once arrived in the lagoon, was sitting on the steps of the train station, where he left the backpack. He stowed the documents in a plast ic bag and seal that he had in his pocket and jumped into the water. He let go, paralyzed by the icy water, under half (Actv), dragged by the current. T. S. would like to reach Venice in the next few hours. The last goodbye has entrusted to you yesterday in a post on Facebook. “Today is a day that I will never forget. I lost my brother, I can not control the tears and I will pray for him.”
