Voice Actor Davide Lionello Dies After Being Struck by Train at Rome's Subaugusta Station

Relatives question his clinic permissions after the 52-year-old, long under psychiatric care, left Villa Mendicini that day.

Overview

  • Police accounts, CCTV footage and witnesses indicate a voluntary act as he jumped onto the tracks at Line A’s Subaugusta stop.
  • Service on the Rome Metro was temporarily suspended to allow on-site investigations before resuming later the same day.
  • Family members say he had a bipolar diagnosis dating to 2004 and had been under care at Villa Mendicini for roughly two years.
  • His sister alleges overmedication and describes disputes with clinicians over his treatment and limited therapeutic activities.
  • Relatives report the clinic called his phone around 17:00 when he had already died, and they are weighing a formal complaint about how he was allowed to leave.
