My office has chosen as the operating mode of ascertaining with absolute accuracy the case-by-case what happened. This is the reason why I’m saying ‘no, no, no’ to the relatives who ask about it. I do ascertain autopsy and I will do for all”.

In some cases, the immediate deaths by crushing, in the other there is competition causes: crushing, hypothermia and asphyxia“.
