Crime in Arezzo, 40-year-old found bleeding to death in the hospital car park

There's a mystery about the death of the man found last night in a pool of blood in the Arezzo hospital car park.

The victim Mirko Frescucci, 40 years old originally from Cortona, resident in Valdichiana, unmarried, belonged to a well-known family in the area. For the investigators it was a case of violent death: the body was full of cuts and he bled to death due to haemorrhages. The body was noticed by a passer-by who raised the alarm. The police, health personnel and the medical examiner intervened on site. The cadaveric inspection highlighted numerous wounds caused by stab wounds but does not give unequivocal answers. An autopsy will be required.

Hypothesis of violent death

Investigators maintain maximum confidentiality. The hypothesis of an attack, therefore a murder, has not been ruled out. The autopsy, scheduled for next Thursday, will resolve all doubts. Investigators searched for a knife, a blade and searched the parking lot for traces. Acquire images from available cameras. The magistrate on duty, prosecutor Julia Maggiore, went to the site for an inspection.

Arezzo, 40 year old found dead in the hospital car park

The story of the witnesses, the help of the cameras

Two residents of the area said they heard shouting around 4 am, as if in a degenerate argument. But to investigators, the death appears to have occurred about an hour earlier, around 3am. It remains to be understood why the 40-year-old was in the hospital car park in the middle of the night. There are those who say they saw him going around the bars in the previous hours, the evening before. It does not appear that the 40-year-old was a patient who went to the emergency room. All scenarios remain open. The body is in the hospital morgue but will most likely be transferred to Siena for an autopsy.
