Overview

• Police say a 70-year-old jumped from his fourth-floor balcony in Baggio, west Milan, late on 14 September and struck 83-year-old Francesca Manno in the courtyard.
• Emergency crews pronounced Manno dead at the scene, and the man was hospitalized with multiple leg fractures in serious but not life‑threatening condition.
• Prosecutors have opened an involuntary manslaughter case that will proceed once the suspect is medically discharged.
• The man’s identity has not been released; neighbors and a relative said he had walking difficulties, lived with his sick mother in the same complex, and had voiced suicidal intent.
• An autopsy on Manno is expected in the coming days, delaying funeral arrangements for the longtime resident who lived there with her 93-year-old husband.
