Translated from my rusty high school Italian - he had gone there on 'holiday', seen to be acting
starnge by staff, seen by porter in afternoon alive and found dead in evening with no signs of
violence. Expressions of shock by Moser, Ballerini and others.

A great shame, whatever the circumstances.

You don't go on holiday in a place 20 kms away from your hometown.

Not necessarily so.

 

You do if you want to kill yourself away from family.

God Bless

 

First Jose Maria Jimenez, now this. I'm surprised more professional athletes aren't killing themselves after bowing out of competition.
