Prosecutors Open Manslaughter Probe in Brescia Carbon Monoxide Death; Uncle Named Suspect

Investigators ordered the apartment seized, with technical checks focusing on a suspected stove malfunction.

Overview

  • A three-year-old boy died in a private home in Calvagese della Riviera after suspected carbon monoxide exposure.
  • The child's 30-year-old mother and five-year-old sibling were transported in code yellow to Brescia’s Poliambulanza hospital and remain under observation.
