Italian authorities are re-examining the death of Judge Francesca Ercolini, who was found dead in her home in Pesaro in December 2022. A new autopsy conducted after the body was exhumed has raised doubts about whether her death was a suicide. The findings suggest that the marks on her neck may not be consistent with a self-inflicted hanging using a silk ribbon tied to the staircase railing. Investigators are also examining two cables found at the scene to determine if they could have caused the injuries. The case is being reviewed by prosecutors in L'Aquila, with further investigations planned
