“Accidental death after falling from 10 metres”

The investigation into the death of is only just beginning Xavier Granci, a 21-year-old from Piobbico found lifeless in Vienna on Saturday. Investigators have for now excluded the possibility of murder and currently the most popular hypothesis is that of “accidental death”. The boy’s body, in fact. he was found by the Austrian police in the early hours of Saturday morning near a bridge, lying on a cycle path. According to investigators, he died from injuries sustained after a flight of approximately 10 metres.

For the repatriation of the body, the boy’s father explained to the Rest of the Pug, it will take at least a week or two. “My wife and I arrived in Vienna on Saturday after learning what had happened. Our son Luigi already lived here and Xavier had joined him, they had been living together for a few months because he wanted to find work in Austria. Luigi was the first to be notified by the Austrian police who traced Xavier’s identity through the documents he had on him. The hypothesis is that it was an accidental death, we will know more after the autopsy. We stayed assisted by the Italian embassy who offered us all the support possible.”

The 21-year-old had moved from Italy to Vienna after graduating from the Piobbico hotel institute to look for work. The tragedy shocked the Granci family and was painful for the entire community who knew Xavier very well. In fact, the boy had a sporting background in the Audax Piobbico 1968 team.

For the funeral we will have to wait a little longer until the Austrian judiciary completes the investigation process and allows the body to be returned to Italy. Waiting for him for a final farewell is the entire community of Piobbico and the other brothers, divided between Italy and abroad.
