A hundred days after the tragedy, tests confirm that Aurora Tila, the 13-year-old who died on October 25, 2024 in Piacenza after falling from the terrace of the building where she lived with her mother, did not commit suicide .
The girl did not take her own life as initially thought, but was pushed down . The injuries found are incompatible with suicide, according to the conclusions of the autopsy carried out by the coroner Giovanni Cecchetto, of the Institute of Forensic Medicine of the University of Pavia.
For the girl's death , her 15-year-old ex-boyfriend is in prison, accused of voluntary homicide . A witness said he saw Aurora desperately clinging to the railing and to life while the young man beat his hands with his fists to make her fall . Now that the scientific confirmation has also arrived, the position of the boy is getting worse and worse, who, from the juvenile prison where he is detained, continues to deny.
The lesions on the back of her skull, the coroner highlights, would suggest that she fell backwards, probably following a push , and that she did not throw herself forward as would instead be assumed by the intention of performing an extreme gesture. Aurora had numerous fractures, all attributable to the fall from a height. But the lethal ones would have been to the head. Lesions that would have caused immediate death.
Another crucial point of the autopsy is the one that focused on the lesions found on the girl's hands and, in particular, on the knuckles. Confirming what the witness reported .
