Criminal Investigation Launched Into Death of Italian Footballer Davide Astori
17:26 GMT 05.03.2018 (Updated: 13:22 GMT 17.10.2022) Italian authorities have opened a manslaughter investigation into the death of the Fiorentina captain so that an autopsy can be performed before his funeral on Thursday.
The 31-year-old Astori was found dead in his hotel room in Udine hours before his team was to face Udinese and a day before signing a new contract with the club.
"An inquiry has been opened for culpable homicide against persons unknown," said head prosecutor Antonio De Nicolo. "It is a duty to ascertain if the death of Astori came about through tragic a fatality or if someone could have foreseen something."
