Teramo: Funeral Plans Announced for 77-Year-Old Found Dead
The funeral of 77-year-old Franca D’Agostino, who was found lifeless in her home on Via Arno on July 21st, will take place next week. The discovery of her body in an advanced state of decomposition sparked an investigation into the possible concealment of a corpse.
Her 43-year-old daughter, currently under investigation, had kept her mother in the house for weeks, believing her to be unconscious. She has already confessed this to investigators and her lawyer.
The autopsy confirmed that the cause of death was natural, dating back to more than two months prior to the discovery. The daughter was hospitalized in a psychiatric ward and is now undergoing treatment in a rehabilitation center.
The Municipality of Teramo has ordered the remediation of the deceased woman’s home and will cover the costs of her funeral, which will be held directly in the Cartecchio cemetery next week. The daughter expressed a desire to be present at the farewell, but the final decision rests with the healthcare professionals.
An investigation is ongoing, with the deputy prosecutor Greta Aloisi working to uncover all relevant details.
