Teen Student Dies After Fifth-Floor Fall in Latina as Police Examine Possible Voluntary Act

Investigators are assessing whether distress over a failed make-up exam preceded the fall.

Overview

  • The student fell on August 29 from a fifth-floor balcony on via Don Luigi Sturzo and was rushed to Santa Maria Goretti hospital, where she underwent surgery, was admitted to intensive care and died overnight.
  • Police units from the Questura pontina responded and are reconstructing the dynamics of the incident, saying no hypothesis is excluded at this stage.
  • Reporting identifies the most probable scenario as a voluntary act possibly connected to her recent failure in a make-up exam, which some outlets say was the second consecutive year.
  • Investigators have not found farewell notes or messages at the scene so far.
  • Local coverage says the exam result was communicated by email earlier that day, and an inquiry into the circumstances has been opened.
