Leonardo Ribetti took his own life by throwing himself from a window in the Maggiore hospital, but the parents do not believe and want the truth
A story that destroyed a family and caused shock to anyone, who in any case will need investigations to identify anyone responsible. Leonardo Ribetti, a 21-year-old hospitalized at the Maggiore of Bologna, would have committed suicide by throwing himself out of a hospital window. The family, however, does not believe in the version of the Usl and expects the truth to emerge.
It all started when Leonardo, a young man of only 21 from Ferrara, started having psychotic problems due to an abuse of cannabinoids. Convinced to detox, with the help of his father he had been hospitalized in Cona hospital.
In the hospital, while playing a strength 4 game, he swallowed a pawn that got stuck in his esophagus. Later, the young man would tell his dad that it was the voices in his head that told him to do it.
Following this event, again voluntarily, the boy had been transferred to theMaggiore hospital in Bologna, where there were machinery suitable for removing the foreign object. And it is precisely here that the next morning, last June 21st, the tragedy would take place.
Leonardo, a boy 2 meters tall, would be thrown out of a windowpassing through a slot about 25 centimeters wide.
A dynamic that did not convince the parents and that needs to be investigated.
The anger of Leonardo Ribetti’s parents
Reached by journalists from de The Corriere di Bolognathe parents of Leonardo Ribetti have told what happened and expressed all their anger:
At the hospital, the direction of the Ausl received us, telling that Leonardo a couple of hours after the surgery would have tried to escape and that they had recovered him on the ground floor. Here, he who was a big boy of 2 meters for 90 kilos, would have gone from an open window to vasistas for 20-25 cm.
From the second floor he would have launched himself at a height of over two meters onto the terrace of the first, without doing anything. And after ten minutes, around 5 in the morning, he would have decided to throw himself down ending up on the embankment at the entrance to the ambulances. Why if someone wants to commit suicide first try to escape from the ground floor? Why didn’t they call us after the first escape attempt, why wasn’t he guarded? Why did they only call us at 8 in the morning?
An investigation opened
The prosecutor of Bologna has ordered aautopsy on the boy’s body and opened aninvestigation which will serve to clarify the dynamics of the tragedy.
The Usl, meanwhile, has published a note in which, in addition to showing its own nearness to the distraught family, he repeated that all will be carried out investigations.
The note states that Leonardo was a sportsman, rugby player and chef with a diploma at 19, which he was intent on detoxifying and who had already tried to escape in other shelters. However, on his medical records there were no traces of suicidal ideas.
