Salò – In a wooded area near Salò on the western shore of Lake Garda a body was found on Wednesday, 4 November. Initial examinations suggest it is a man. His identity and the cause of death remain unknown.
The site is between the districts of Villa and Campoverde. Carabinieri from Salò responded to an emergency call. The body lay in dense vegetation and was already badly decomposed. Emergency workers found no identity documents on him.
Body found near Lake Garda: Autopsy and DNA analysis ordered
The Brescia public prosecutor's office ordered an autopsy. The examination should establish how the man died and provide clues about when he died. Samples have already been taken to identify him. A DNA profile is to be created from them.
The Carabinieri are checking missing-person reports from recent months. An initial search for a match in the surrounding area found none, so investigators extended the comparison beyond the province of Brescia.
