- The Catania prosecutor’s office seized the body and set a forensic examination for later this week to determine the cause of death.
- Initial reports cite a possible internal hemorrhage, with preliminary checks not indicating causes other than natural pending autopsy results.
- Raciti, a co-owner of the Catania beach venue Le Capannine, leaves three daughters; a 2020 probe over weapons and alleged clan ties remains before a preliminary hearing.
