New 3D Simulation in David Rossi Case Points to Homicide

A reconstruction commissioned by Le Iene claims Rossi was restrained then released, challenging the 2022 Sapienza/RIS finding of suicide.

Overview

  • Forensic engineer Giuseppe Monfreda says a virtual analysis indicates Rossi was held by one or two people by the wrists or arms and then released before falling.
  • The simulation uses an anthropomorphic 3D model calibrated to Rossi’s measurements and, according to Monfreda, achieves about a 95% match with the recorded fall dynamics.
  • Monfreda asserts the new results are mechanically incompatible with a voluntary act and alleges the 2022 Sapienza/RIS work relied on an obsolete, unlicensed version of the Virtual Crash software.
  • Le Iene plans to air the reconstruction in prime time on Italia 1, presenting a replicable model that its producers say contradicts prior official conclusions.
  • Rossi’s family, represented by Carolina Orlandi, is asking prosecutors to open a homicide investigation in a venue other than Siena, while MP Walter Rizzetto calls for immediate verifications and for Monfreda to be heard by the parliamentary commission.
