Overview
- Prosecutors registered event organizers Andrea Zuin and Tatiana Marchetto and Colombian curanderos Jhonni Benavides and Sebastian Castillo as suspects for death resulting from another crime.
- The investigative file relies on autopsy and toxicology reports that identified ayahuasca and cocaine as the lethal combination.
- Investigators’ working hypothesis is that Marangon, 25, fatally jumped from an embankment by the Piave river after losing control under the influence of the substances.
- Marangon’s family filed an August complaint alleging broader crimes, citing a forensic consultant who noted two suspicious injuries not easily attributable to a fall.
- Organizers have denied serving ayahuasca, calling it a detox tea, and prosecutors asked the Colombian curanderos’ lawyer, Oscar Palet Santandreu, to provide an address for official notices.
