Parliamentary Panel Shifts to Homicide Theory in David Rossi’s Death

The family will petition to reopen the case following tests indicating he was held by the wrist before the fall.

Overview

  • Carabinieri RIS experts told the parliamentary commission that Rossi was held by the left wrist outside the window, calling it a certain finding based on injuries and video review.
  • Experiments reproduced the watch’s detachment before impact, with the strap breaking in 4 of 23 trials when the cased watch was used as a grip, aligning with lacerations on Rossi’s wrist.
  • Commission president Gianluca Vinci said the working track is homicide or homicide as a consequence of another crime, citing evidence incompatible with suicide.
  • An independent Virtual Crash simulation by engineer Giuseppe Monfreda, broadcast by Le Iene, reported about 95% incompatibility with a voluntary fall and a dynamic of being held then released.
  • The family’s lawyer will file for a formal reopening of the criminal inquiry as the commission plans further checks, while prosecutors have not announced a new investigation.
