An autopsy has been confirmed for Monday at 3:00 PM on the body of Gaia Costa, the 24-year-old woman hit and killed on Tuesday in Porto Cervo. The autopsy has been entrusted to Salvatore Lorenzoni.

The family of the young victim— her mother, Debora Caffiero, and her father, Alfredo Costa, a well-known trade unionist for the CISL (Italian General Confederation of Labour) in Gallura—will also have a consultant, medical examiner Francesco Serra. The funeral could be held in Tempio Pausania on Tuesday. The Costa family's lawyer, Antonello Desini, has asked for an update on the ongoing investigation into the German manager Vivian Spohr, who is under investigation for vehicular homicide.

Meanwhile, investigators are examining footage from video surveillance cameras installed on Via Aga Khan, near the pedestrian crossing where the 24-year-old woman from Tempio Pausania, on the Costa Smeralda for work, was struck and killed by the SUV. After seizing the car, the Carabinieri began analyzing Vivian Spohr's cell phone.

"We're working to analyze the surveillance footage to determine whether Ms. Spohr was using her phone while driving. If so, it would be an aggravating circumstance," attorney Desini explained to ANSA.

Yesterday, the message of condolence was released by lawyer Angelo Merlini, who, together with his colleague Alessandro Vitale, is assisting the German manager and wife of Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr : "Vivian Spohr, involved in the tragic death of the very young Gaia Costa, expresses her dismay and profound sorrow for this very serious accident that has overwhelmed a family, the town of Tempio, and the entire community of Gallura."

"The lady," the lawyers' statement continues, "has placed herself completely at the disposal of the judicial authorities for the necessary investigations and, while aware that such a great personal loss cannot be repaired, she will take steps to mitigate the consequences."

Spohr, 51, returned to Germany after the accident. Her breathalyzer test came back negative.
