New details emerge in death of Kazakh student in Italy
According to Il Vibonese, the young man’s body was found off the coast of the municipality of Briatico in the province of Vibo Valentia in southern Italy.
The student was spotted in the morning among coastal rocks.
“The deceased was a Caucasian-looking man aged between 20 and 30, whose identity has not yet been established. His long hair misled the rescuers who first saw him in the sea and initially assumed it was a woman,” the publication said.
According to preliminary conclusions by specialists, death may have occurred about 15 hours before the body was discovered. During the initial examination, experts found no signs of wounds caused by a weapon. At the same time, injuries were recorded on the body, which are believed to have resulted from impacts against the coastal rocks.
According to the preliminary version of the investigation, drowning may have been the cause of death. However, final conclusions will be made after all necessary examinations and investigative procedures are completed.
It is also reported that a mobile phone was found on the deceased. In addition, bags containing a waist bag and some items of clothing were discovered on nearby rocks.
The investigation is ongoing. Law enforcement agencies are establishing the identity of the deceased and clarifying the circumstances of the incident. At present, official conclusions about the causes and circumstances of death have not yet been published.
As a reminder, information about the death of a student from Kazakhstan earlier appeared on social media. It was reported that his relatives had faced difficulties transporting the young man’s body back to his homeland, with total expenses amounting to about 8,000 euros.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed condolences to the family and friends of the deceased and said that diplomats are providing the necessary support. The circumstances of the incident are currently being established.
