Overview

• Investigators say the 70-year-old man intentionally jumped from a fourth-floor balcony in a via Fratelli di Dio condominium and landed on Francesca Manno, who died at the scene.
• The man survived conscious with multiple leg fractures and is hospitalized at Niguarda in serious but not life‑threatening condition.
• Authorities determined the two were unrelated after initial on‑scene reports mistakenly suggested a joint suicide.
• The survivor has been reported for omicidio colposo, with the case handled by Carabinieri from the Nucleo Radiomobile and the San Cristoforo station.
• Prosecutors prepared a case file and an autopsy for Manno is expected, as outlets noted inconsistent early timings for the incident on Sept. 14.
