Lifeless, in the snow, probably dead from an illness due to the cold.

So some people who were cleaning up the paths found Cristiana Gugu, 50, in the Apennines between Tuscany, Marche and Romagna.

The woman, who lived alone in the Cocchiola oasis, in the Arezzo mountains, in a small house in the middle of the woods, was last seen on Monday as she boarded a bus to San Sepolcro where she often went shopping for herself and for his animals, those he raised, Mirotic dogs, a Carpathian breed, eight adults and three puppies.

On her way back, she headed back to her home. During the journey, it was also reconstructed on the basis of the timetables, it allegedly ran into the snowstorm that affected the area by depositing a one-metre blanket. Walking on foot she was unable to get home and was struck down by a heart attack, an illness most likely generated by the intense cold and the fatigue of walking in the snow, with steps that get heavier and heavier.

They only found her on Tuesday morning. The prosecutor Julia Maggiore, informed of the incident, ordered a cadaveric investigation which confirmed how the woman was actually cut short by a cardiac arrest due, but it remains a guess, cold and fatigue.

The magistrate gave the green light for the funeral, the body is in Sansepolcro awaiting the arrival of some relatives, contacted in Romania, who will take care of getting it back to its country of origin where the last farewell will take place.

Cristiana Gugu lived for her dogs, those who knew her tell us, and with them she felt safe even in the middle of the forest, but this time her animals were unable to do anything to save her and some died of starvation like her in the storm.
