The Oristano prosecutor's office has ordered an autopsy on the body of Concetta Reale, the 84-year-old who disappeared from Zerfaliu a week ago and was found lifeless today in a canal , in the Zeddiani countryside.

The medical examiner's examination is essential to establish the causes of death and therefore shed full light on the matter. The most plausible hypothesis at the moment seems that of the accident : Concetta Reale would have left home between Monday 25 March (when she was seen sitting on a bench near the church) and the morning of the following day (when Paolo Tore, the family friend who looked after her, reported her missing).

Then it could have ended up in the canal . But to remove any doubt, the magistrate ordered further investigations. Certainly the body was found in another town but in that same canal which also passes near Concetta Reale's house and which, on the day of her disappearance, was full and with a very strong current that could have carried her kilometers away.

Meanwhile, in Zerfaliu there is deep emotion over the woman's death. The entire community mobilized from the first moment to look for the old woman. “By now the hopes of finding her alive had vanished – comments the mayor Pinuccio Chelo – we are truly saddened ”.
