The autopsy will establish the exact cause of death of a child who died at home in Longare, in the province of Vicenza, where he was with his mother.
According to the initial findings of the investigation, the woman said she was washing her son and left the bathroom for a few moments. When she returned she found the child lifeless on the ground.
The hypothesis is that the child suffered a fatal illness.
The mother immediately raised the alarm on 118, but the health workers could not help but confirm the child's death.
The carabinieri of the Vicenza company are investigating the matter. The local prosecutor's office ordered an autopsy.
