Death after discharge from hospital: investigation by the Udine Prosecutor's Office

The technical consultants of the Udine Prosecutor's Office will be appointed on 8 October as part of the investigations into the death of a 52-year-old man, who died in Udine on 25 September, due to a probable heart attack, shortly after being discharged from hospital. The investigation arose after a complaint from the victim's family.

The autopsy will have to ascertain the cause and time of death and verify any responsibilities, also from a diagnostic and therapeutic point of view. The experts appointed by prosecutor Marco Panzeri will be the medical examiner Antonello Cirnelli and the cardiac surgeon Paolo Ius. The doctors of the city hospital department who treated the man are under investigation.
