        Family destroyed in Chieti, investigation for manslaughter


        CHIETI. Marco Ricci was subjected to liver transplantation yesterday afternoon at the transplant center of the Policlinico Umberto I, Rome. While on the front of the investigation, opened by the public prosecutor's office in Chieti on death of his wife Morena Capitanio, the offense on which the deputy public prosecutor Joseph Falasca is investigating and negligent homicide. But on the dossier for now does not appear any investigated. The news of the transplant and arrived yesterday by the Asl of Chieti. The doctors of the policlinico romano have found a liver that is compatible with Ricci. Its conditions remain very serious, with a major hepatic necrosis, the only chance of saving it, it is precisely the transplant operation, possible thanks to a clinical picture of general patient still deemed suitable for transplantation. Now do not have to wait until the course after the surgery. The polyclinic roman man, who has a laboratory where cellular repair Stopover, was transferred the other yesterday. From Sunday Ricci was in a coma in resuscitation of the Santissima Annunziata. The decision to carry it by helicopter to Rome came from the worsening of her condition. The cause of the tragedy that struck the family of Chieti Scalo are likely linked to mushrooms, donated by a relative and ingested by both spouses. But to have the certainty that were just mushrooms to kill Morena Capitanio and to have made you ill the husband it is necessary to wait for the results of the analysis by the Institute poisons of Pavia made on levies gastric Ricci. Excluding infectious diseases such as avian influenza or other killer viruses and contagious, the food poisoning remains the most likely cause. Meanwhile today, at 11, there will be a meeting between the legal doctor who performed the autopsy on Morena Capitanio, Peter Falk, the medical director of the Polyclinic of Colle dell'Ara and operators of the Department of prevention. These two days ago they found the fungi precisely in the area where they would have picked the mushrooms then treat yourself to the Ricci family.

            The pm Falasca has opened a file and wants to know if the hypothesis of poisoning from mushrooms can be the right one. During the inspection in the house of the spouses would have been found an electric plate of those used for roasting meat and it seems that would have been used to cook a good quantity of mushrooms. From the first indiscretion on the results of the analyzes on tissues and liquids would have revealed that the woman however would be dead for a food poisoning that would have generated an internal infection fatal. If these are the results, the causes, however, are uncertain, as said, even if the poison mushrooms would hit before all the liver as well as was found in women. The situation seemed more complicated after the autopsy, however, would have found particular faults however, focusing on certain aspects that doubts remain about the cardiac conditions of women. More difficult seem, on the other hand the analyzes on husband who from the outset and subjected to drip and for this any poisonous substances would be diluted and therefore would be untraceable.

            This meeting is still in progress and expect the official communications on the part of the Asl in Chieti.

            HOURS 15.30 . SUMMIT LASTED TWO HOURS

            L'Oreal SS. Annunziata in Chieti were not enough more than two hours of summit between physicians and investigators to give a precise answer on the causes that have caused the death of a woman and the hospitalisation of the husband, who then yesterday in Rome was transplanted to the liver. THE suspect number one remains the food-borne, with some preference for the mushrooms, having regard to the devastating effect on the liver and typical of these poisonings. But "food" may also mean another, and that legal doctor, anatomico-pathologist, HMP or and the whole medical team that has followed the case met to discuss the situation. "The meeting - explains Giuseppe Mariotti, medical director of the hospital - served to make the point between the doctors concerned the case, in order to compare the data so far in our possession and to establish any links between the two events which seem to be connected, but who need some insights. However, we are still waiting for data that must be by the Istituto Superiore di Sanit?, Rome, to which we have sent the samples of both, and Pavia that is performing toxicological analyzes on the liquids of the husband. In reality - continues Mariotti - the latter analysis are a little difficult because it necessarily, due to the treatments to which the patient was subjected (drip etc. ), the blood is "watered down".

              Woman who died of suspected poisoning, from Rome testing negative on bacteria


              CHIETI. Testing negative: there are no traces of bacteria. Leaves no doubt the response to the findings of the poisoning sent by the hospital in Chieti by the Istituto Superiore di Sanit?, Rome and in this way, it is clear the field from all the assumptions of bacterial infection advanced on death of the woman of Chieti Scalo, Morena Capitanio, and on the serious poisoning of her husband Marco Ricci. A confirmation therefore on what has already been revealed in recent days by doctors. Positive news, on the other hand, for the post-operative course of man subjected to liver transplantation to roman Polyclinic Umberto I. For him and, while waiting for it to wake up from a coma, is because this would mean a decided improvement in his health condition is the opportunity to explore his memories on the possible causes of his poisoning. To return to the analysis, there is still the response of Pavia for toxicological research, i.e. the poisoning by other substances such as organophosphorous pesticides.

              And while the assumptions made are narrow, at least for the woman it takes more and more body another possibility of death, already ventilated last Wednesday by doctors to consultation in the department of anesthesia of the SS. Annunziata. As already pointed out, the presence of a cardiologist suggested the need to be excluded with certainty the possibility that the woman is dead for other causes already present, as a pain to the heart then exploded under the stress of critical conditions of the husband admitted to resuscitation. It is true, in fact, that the woman has presented symptoms similar to those of her husband (vomiting and diarrhea), but it is equally true that it's gone in heart block already on the ambulance where the staff has tried unsuccessfully to revive the heartbeat. As has happened to the Emergency room who has tried all the streets of the resuscitation unsuccessfully.

                  CHIETI. His battle for life is giving the first fruits. The biological functions of Marco Ricci are being reopened slowly and in a progressive manner. But to doctors the Umberto First is still too early to tell if the 48-year old, suffering from a serious-borne, manages to overcome the aftermath of the hepatic coma and liver transplantation. Yesterday, the former employee of Telettra is the proprietor of a shop for mobile telephony to and from the airport, has resumed in swallowing, slowly moving arms and legs, but specialists must still assess whether the food-borne, caused most likely by the ingestion of mushrooms poisoned, has damaged the nervous system. A family destroyed that of Marco Ricci and within a few hours. He had misheard the night of 23 March and was hospitalized emergency resuscitation of the policlinico teatino. His wife, Morena Capitanio, 44 years, on the other hand do not have made. His heart has stopped beating the 25 march after extreme fever is a serious gastroenteritis.


                  The woman has come without life at the hospital in Colle dell'Ara. Then the investigations on blood and the stomach contents of Capitamio and other levies on tissues and body fluids of the husband. But results are still awaited. The only new element that however does not close the game and the analysis of mushrooms collected from Asl in the vicinity of the house of the spouses. Exams that would not have found any toxicity.


                  One certainty, at the time, and therefore the slow recovery of the vital functions of Marco Ricci. The turn on the case could reach in a few days when the Asl will come into possession of the analyzes carried out on gastric juices of the wife whose death could be linked by tossinfenzione contracted from her husband.

                    Woman died in Chieti, 'it was not mushroom poisoning?

                    CHIETI. Now there is an answer for sure: no traces have been found of Alpha-amanitin (the toxin in Amanita mushroom (amanita Phalloides) highly venomous) in the urine of the woman of 44 years, Morena Cameron, died in Chieti the last March 25, three days after the hospitalization of her husband, Marco Ricci, in very serious condition. The poison control center of Pavia, announced this morning at the forensic Service of Asl Launch Vast Chieti, directed by Pietro Falco, the outcome of the examinations are performed to determine whether the woman had eaten poisonous mushrooms before the illness that had been lethal. Laboratory tests, therefore, confirmed what had already emerged in the autopsy, when the coroner and pathologist Giuseppe Lattanzio had not found in the liver of fungal poisoning results. Excluding the hypothesis of poisoning, remains standing the unexpected and sudden death, certainly in a context of strong emotional stress to the serious medical condition of her husband, hospitalized in a coma at the Resuscitation of Chieti. It was rejected, therefore, the possibility of food poisoning as the cause of death, this element, supported by other tests carried out by the Istituto Zooprofilattico of Teramo on various species of fungi collected by veterinarians in the Prevention Department, where the same family often gather. All samples were edible results.To get the most complete on the whole affair, we must wait for the evolution of the clinical status of the husband, still hospitalized at the Policlinico Umberto I of Rome which, once taken, could add important details for the purposes of reconstruction of events in the hours before the tragedy. In fact, he'll have to clarify whether he had eaten something that so far investigators have not yet analyzed.

                    The first to feel bad was her husband who sat 22 March was transported to the Hospital of Chieti aboard an ambulance of 118. Accusing a strong stomach pain accompanied by vomiting, diarrhea and a fever to 40?. The woman, however, has felt bad during the night between Monday and Tuesday, and on the morning of Tuesday, she was transported by ambulance to the Santissima Annunziata but died due to cardiac arrest prior to arrival. She, like her husband accused vomiting and stomach pain. The man in the past few weeks he was transferred to Rome where he was to undergo a liver transplant.

                      Husband and wife victims of two different diseases


                      CHIETI. IT IS negligent homicide the hypothesis of offense written on a pink dossier against unknown open by the public prosecutor's office in Chieti. But the investigation on the family destroyed is going to be closed with a nothing. The results of the last test, performed in Pavia and delivered two days ago the Asl, push the public ministry, Joseph Falasca, toward the request d archiving gip. Mushrooms, collected near the house, in Chieti Scalo, and presumably, eaten by Marco Ricci, of 48 years, he was hospitalized at the Umberto I of Rome where he immediately the transplantation of the liver, and by his wife Morena Capitanio, of 44 years, died on March 25, three days after the collapse accused by her husband, are not poisonous. Then the hypothesis of culpable homicide falls. To kill Morena instead would have been the strong emotional stress tested in those dramatic hours when Marco was fighting against death in the Intensive Care ward. The woman, according to the experts, could be dead di Crepacuore. But certainly did not remain a victim of food poisoning. In other words: there would be no connection between the end of its sudden and tragic and the evil that has dropped in a coma the husband, distruggendogli the liver and creating serious damage even to the kidneys so to dialysis. In his tragedy, was only a coincidence. The two events, which at the beginning of this affair terrible seemed closely connected to each other, are or still appear quite distinct. It seems incredible but it is so. And is the same attorney to take note on the eve of a request for storage. If none, in fact, have been sold or offered in gift poisonous mushrooms to the Ricci family there are no reasons to keep still standing the investigation for manslaughter as regards the death of Morena Capitanio. But the case of the husband is different from a legal point of view: his are negligent injury which proceed to complaint. But the conditions still serious of Marco Ricci prevent to clarify all the mystery that has hit the public teatina more than many other mournful events in recent times in the city.

                      Asl, legal medicine, experts in toxic substances and Nas, They also inspected the shop where Ricci repair mobile phones without however revived suspected substances (such as the mercury that is present in some batteries and that is about ten times more poisonous arsenic if its fumes are inhaled) that may have caused devastating effects on the liver and kidneys of the husband of Morena. A day Marco awakes from a coma and may recall that things happened in the last hours we spent together for his beloved companion of life.
