Body discovered in garage with fatal chainsaw injury to the neck.
In the heart of Terni, Italy, an investigation is underway following the discovery of a 59-year-old man's body in his garage yesterday afternoon. The deceased, a former finance officer who retired in 2018, was found between late afternoon and early evening inside his car.
The man, who lived with his wife and son, while another daughter resided outside the city, was found with a deep neck injury believed to have been caused by a chainsaw. The chainsaw in question has since been seized by investigators.
The carabinieri of the investigative unit in Terni, led by substitute prosecutor Raffaele Pesiri, are currently leading the investigation. The incident took place on Prisciano Street, and multiple individuals have been interviewed by military personnel, starting with the man's family.
The investigation is ongoing, with investigations conducted on-site and continued into the night being supplemented by those of a medical-legal nature. An autopsy on the former finance officer has been ordered by the judicial authority.
The exact cause of death is yet to be determined, with the investigation currently focusing on whether the incident was a murder or a suicide. The search results do not provide any information about which military personnel were interviewed to reconstruct the last hours of the 59-year-old tax official.
The residence and other items collected at the scene have been seized by investigators, and the investigation is expected to continue in the coming days. The community in Terni awaits the results of the investigation with a heavy heart, hoping for closure and justice in this tragic case.
