The discovery of the weapon and the note next to the body suggests that the former general committed suicide because he was moved by too much ache.

The couple had no children, the Rome Prosecutor’s Office opened a case for instigation to suicide – it is a due act to carry out the usual checks, entrusting the investigations to the Carabinieri.
It is not known when the will be celebrated funerals, but the Army will certainly take care of it.
