48-year-old man with history of drug addiction
was found dead by his father in his own house. According
to testimonies collected by the police at the beginning of
resuscitation maneuvers that were performed by a nearby
nurse, soon after the man was found, the subject had
already lost consciousness. The police and the coroner
established that, according to circumstantial data, the man
tried to cut off a vascular neoformation from his right arm
(most likely a venous aneurysm, protruding from his skin),
using a pair of scissors. Because of the unexpected massive
bleeding, the man tried to stop the blood spilling from his
arm with some towels, that were found in different rooms
of the apartment and under the body, stained with blood.
