Some acquaintances found him lying lifeless on the ground. The cause of death of Bastiano Ruiu, 53, on Via Bovet, is still unclear.
Ruiu had been living in that building for a short time. State police were on site for initial investigations. According to initial information, the body showed no signs of violence: death may have been caused by illness.
The victim, when he was a stablehand at the Pinna racecourse, in September 2008, at the height of an argument, fatally hit Gavino Garau with a pitchfork.
